The world has finally agreed on a long-term plan to curb carbon emissions from flying.
”At a meeting in Montreal, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), pledged to support an ”aspirational” net zero aviation goal by 2050. The plan, seen as a compromise by many, was accepted by the 193 countries who are members of ICAO.”

”At the ICAO triennial assembly in Montreal, member states finally agreed to support a net zero target for 2050, despite grumbles from China and Russia.”
