Can aviation ever be sustainable? Here are some paths to net zero

Aviation is growing, but its environmental impact does not have to - if the technology and policies are available to de-carbonise the sector.

We hear from a company making sustainable aviation fuel with waste CO2; the head of one of the world's busiest airports, and from the body representing airports around the world.

Hosts:

Robin Pomeroy, Podcasts Editor, World Economic Forum; Laia Barbarà, Head, Climate Strategy - Net Zero, World Economic Forum

Guests:

Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports

Ayesha Choudhury, Chief Commercial Officer at Infinium

Justin Erbacci, Director General of Airports Council International World
