The World Economic Forum’s Target True Zero Aviation report highlights pathways to decarbonize one of the hardest-to-abate sectors. Aviation accounts for over 2% of global emissions, with demand projected to grow sharply. The report outlines three priorities: scaling sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), accelerating adoption of hydrogen and electric propulsion, and enabling supporting infrastructure and regulation. Case studies illustrate early progress, but high costs, limited supply, and fragmented policies remain barriers. Collaboration across governments, industry, and investors is critical to unlock innovation, finance, and global standards. By aligning efforts, the sector can achieve net-zero aviation and maintain long-term growth.
