The aviation industry is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, accounting for approximately 2-3% of the world’s total CO ₂ emissions. As concerns about climate change grow, airlines are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. While advancements in fuel efficiency, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), and electric aircraft are critical to long-term decarbonization, many airlines are also turning to reforestation programs as a way to offset their carbon emissions in the short term. These initiatives not only help mitigate the environmental impact of air travel but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and community development. Discover how airlines are offsetting carbon emissions through reforestation programs. See a visual representation of an airline-backed forest restoration project aimed at reducing aviation’s environmental impact.
