The programme was launched in Europe in 2009 and since 2014 it covers all ACI regions. As part of the global efforts in climate mitigation, Airport Carbon Accreditation supports the airport community in reducing its carbon footprint, demonstrating its achievements and sharing knowledge and best practices. The Annual Report, which is published in the fall of each year, covers the previous reporting year (i.e., mid-May to mid-May) and presents the programme’s evolution and achievements. We are very pleased to present this report for programme year 10, which runs from 16 May 2018 to 15 May 2019. The report focuses on key achievements and developments, the most significant global and regional trends, and representative case studies. 2019 marks 10 years since the launch of Airport Carbon Accreditation. Thanks to the close cooperation between airports, verifiers, the Airport Carbon Accreditation team and many other stakeholders, the programme continues to grow, with 37 new airports being accredited, reaching 274 airports in total, and to evolve: Airport Carbon Accreditation introduced new offsetting requirements and recommendations raising the offsetting standards in the airport industry, updated the programme Guidance Document providing additional clarity, and continued exploring avenues to enhance the programme’s alignment with the ambition of the Paris Agreement. Our vision is to maintain the dynamic growth of Airport Carbon Accreditation, engaging airports from all regions in carbon reduction efforts, while keeping the programme aligned with evolving scientific and political developments in relation to climate change. 4 Our“ vision is to maintain the dynamic growth of Airport Carbon Accreditation, engaging airports from all regions in carbon reduction efforts. ” LA REUNION ROLAND GARROS AIRPORT / RUN 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 274 accredited airports 37 new accreditations 16% growth since the previous year 43% of passengers welcomed by accredited airports 68 number of countries with accredited airports 49 accredited airports upgrading to a more stringent level of accreditation -322,297 TONNES (- 4.9%) aggregate scope 1 & 2 CO2e absolute emissions reductions from airports at all levels -0.09 KGS (- 4.3%) scope 1 & 2 CO2e relative emissions reductions per passenger from airports at all levels 50 carbon neutral airports -710,673 TONNES of CO2e offset 6 144 in Europe 39 54 in North America in Asia-Pacific 14 23 in Africa in Latin America & Caribbean 89 Level 1 I Mapping 77 Level 2 I Reduction 58 Level 3 I Optimisation 50 Level 3+ I Neutrality QUEEN ALIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT / AMM QUEEN ALIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT / AMM 2 THE GLOBAL CONTEXT In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Hong Kong and Cochin airports in 2018. These Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a events make climate change particularly tangible Special Report on “Global Warming of 1.5°C”, for the aviation sector and highlight even more concluding that business-as-usual climate the importance of bold climate action. It also policy would lead to a 3°C temperature increase means that in addition to mitigation efforts, an by the end of the century, with catastrophic increasing attention to the adaptation to climate consequences. Limiting global warming to change is required, as highlighted by the 2018 1.5°C would require “unprecedented” and ACI World Policy Brief – Airport’s Resilience and “deep emissions reductions in all sectors” Adaptation to a Changing Climate. and a decrease in global CO2 emissions “well Against the background of new scientific before 2030”. Overall, global net CO2 emissions would need to decline by about 45% by 2030 findings, extreme weather events and societal compared to 2010, reaching net zero by 2050. value change, it is all the more important that These findings have confirmed the importance airport operators worldwide continue making of a rigorous implementation of international efforts to reduce their emissions and where climate instruments, in particular the Paris possible, enhance them. In particular, this means Agreement, due to enter into force as of 2020, exploring opportunities to support emissions and for international aviation emissions, ICAO’s reductions from airlines and other stakeholders Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for airports interact with, building on their role of International Aviation (CORSIA) under which interface between a variety of different actors emissions reporting by aircraft operators has from and beyond the aviation sector. For Airport already started. Carbon Accreditation, this implies evolving in a way that encourages and recognises such In addition to CORSIA, the aviation sector increased ambition, while continuing addressing is continuously working on reducing its the needs of airports that are in the beginning of emissions through more efficient aircraft their carbon management journey. technologies, the improvement of operational procedures and use of sustainable aviation What is Airport Carbon Accreditation? fuels. Due to the increasing air transport demand, these achievements have, however, Airport Carbon Accreditation is the global so far not reversed the trend of growth in standard for carbon management in the airport absolute aviation emissions. This leads to an industry. The aim is to encourage and enable unprecedented pressure on the aviation sector airports to implement best practices in carbon to step up its climate action, with its social and management.
