ATAG and its partners are delighted to provide a virtual platform on Tuesday 29 September 2020 (with a possible extension to Wednesday 30 September) in which we will debate and share views on critical issues related to the sustainability of aviation and its green recovery, post-COVID-19. Join sustainability experts from across the air transport sector in Geneva for the ATAG Global Sustainable Aviation Summit 2020. We will discuss long-term action to cut air transport's impact on climate change.

2020 will mark 15 years since ATAG, ACI, CANSO, IATA, IBAC and ICCAIA first jointly organised a sustainability summit. The event is well-established as an important annual meeting of industry, governments and environmental groups to address key factors that influence aviation's sustainability and to proactively seek solutions.

Due to the situation with COVID-19, we are currently reviewing the format and content of the event. Further information will be posted on this website soon. If you would like to receive e-mail updates, please contact us.

As the aviation sector continues to reel from the sudden collapse of the air transport system, its challenges are compounded by the need to meet ambitious climate change goals going forward, while also meeting sustainability commitments.

The Forum provides a timely platform for industry leaders to address the challenges and opportunities facing the aviation sector against the background of the global 2020 pandemic.
