Last year, ten of the world’s biggest airlines came together to launch the Aviation Climate Taskforce (ACT). Recognizing that the industry currently contributes nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 annually, the group was set up to accelerate breakthroughs in innovation that will bring this figure down.

Seven years ago in Paris, 196 world leaders from different countries and of different political ideologies came together to sign a historic agreement. They all pledged to pursue efforts that would limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C above 1850s levels. This agreement was signed against the backdrop of warnings that if global temperatures were to get any higher than this, a staggering 3.5 billion people could be exposed to life-threatening heat and humidity.
