The rapid advances in digital innovations and technologies continue to accelerate the pace of globalization. This drives a significant increase in global air travel demand. While this enhanced connectivity offers numerous benefits, it also presents critical challenges, particularly concerning climate impact and organizational adaptation.
The sustainable development of the aviation industry is now more crucial than ever, making its transformation both urgent and imperative (Qiu et al., 2021; Hinnen et al., 2017; Kleiner, 2007).
Given these significant impacts on both climate and social ecosystems, it is essential to focus on the sustainability of all stakeholders, including the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the United Nations (UN), and cities.
This collective effort towards sustainable development has led to the emergence of the notion of ‘Green Aviation’(GA).
The International Association of Green Aviation (IAGA) is inviting you to participate in this challenge, aimed at finding solutions to transform the aviation industry towards a sustainable future.
