ICAO 2016 Environmental Report Published

The RSB’s Executive Director, Rolf Hogan, authored “Beyond CO2? in Chapter 4 of ICAO’s Environmental Report for 2016 called “On Board A Sustainable Future”. The article looks at the importance of strong sustainability standards, the role of sustainable biofuels in achieving ICAO’s climate goals, smallholder impacts, indirect land use issues, and the UN Sustainable Energy for All Initiative (SE4All). It discusses the aviation industry’s interest in reducing its global footprint, not just for CO2 emissions, but also for other environmental and human aspects – from livelihoods of smallholders, to conservation and biodiversity.
