Ua kāhea ka International Air Transport Association (IATA) i nā aupuni e hoʻopaʻa i kahi Long-Term Aspirational Goal e decarbonize i ka mokulele ma ka 41st Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) ma hope o kēia makahiki.

Ua hiki mai ke kelepona ma ka 78th IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) a me ka World Air Transport Summit (WATS) kahi e hoʻopaʻa ai nā mokulele i ke ala i ka hoʻokō ʻana o ka ʻoihana e hoʻokō i nā hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻole ma 2050 e like me ka pahuhopu 1.5 ° C o Paris.

"ʻO ka decarbonization o ka hoʻokele waiwai honua e koi i ka hoʻopukapuka ma waena o nā ʻāina a i nā makahiki he ʻumi, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka hoʻololi ʻana mai nā wahie fossil. ʻO ke kūpaʻa o nā mea politika. Ma ka IATA AGM i ʻOkakopa 2021, ua hoʻoholo nui nā mokulele lālā o ka IATA e hoʻokō i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka net zero emissions ma 2050. Ke neʻe nei mākou mai ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka hana, he mea koʻikoʻi ke kākoʻo ʻia ka ʻoihana e nā aupuni me nā kulekele e pili ana i ka hoʻokahi pahuhopu decarbonization, "wahi a Willie Walsh, ka Luna Nui o IATA.

"He paʻakikī nui ka loaʻa ʻana o ka net zero emissions. ʻO ka pālākiō i manaʻo ʻia o ka ʻoihana ma 2050 e koi i ka hoʻēmi ʻana o 1.8 gigatons o kalapona. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mea e koi ai i nā hoʻopukapuka ma waena o ke kaulahao waiwai e holo ana i nā trillions o nā kālā. Pono e kākoʻo ʻia ka hoʻopukapuka kālā e nā kulekele aupuni kūʻokoʻa e kōkua i ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka makemake decarbonization, e noʻonoʻo i nā pae like ʻole o ka hoʻomohala ʻana, a mai hoʻohuli i ka hoʻokūkū, "wahi a Walsh.

"Manaʻo wau e kākoʻo nā aupuni i ka manaʻo o ka ʻoihana me kahi ʻaelike ma kahi Long-Term Aspirational Goal ma ka ICAO Assembly e hiki mai ana. Makemake ka poʻe e ʻike i ka decarbonize o ka mokulele. Manaʻo lākou e hana pū ka ʻoihana a me nā aupuni. Paʻa ka manaʻo o ka ʻoihana e hoʻokō i ka net zero ma 2050. Pehea e wehewehe ai nā aupuni i ka hiki ʻole o ka ʻaelike i ko lākou poʻe kamaʻāina? wahi a Walsh.

Hōʻike ka ʻikepili mai kahi noiʻi IATA i kēia manawa e ʻike ʻia ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni o nā mokulele ma ke ʻano he mea nui ma hope o ka maʻi maʻi no nā poʻe holo kaʻa, me 73% o ka poʻe i koho ʻia e makemake ana i ka ʻoihana mokulele e kālele i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o ke aniau i kona puka ʻana mai ka pilikia COVID. Manaʻo nō hoʻi ʻelua hapakolu o ka poʻe i koho ʻia ʻaʻole e hoʻokō wikiwiki ʻia ka ʻauhau ʻoihana a hōʻike i ka hopohopo e pili ana i ke kālā i hōʻiliʻili ʻia ʻaʻole i koho ʻia no nā papahana decarbonization.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Data from a recent IATA survey shows that improving the environmental impact of airlines is seen as a post-pandemic priority for passengers, with 73% of people polled wanting the aviation industry to focus on reducing its climate impact as it emerges from the COVID crisis.
The call came at the 78th IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit (WATS) where airlines are mapping out the pathway to the industry's commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement's 1.
As we move from commitment to action, it is critical that the industry is supported by governments with policies that are focused on the same decarbonization goal,” said Willie Walsh, IATA's Director General.
