Environmental Sustainability Overview
Air Canada recognizes that it must do its part to work towards reducing the environmental impact of its operations. As part of this mission, Air Canada continues to pursue its long-term aspirational goal of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all its global operations by 2050, and its absolute midterm GHG net reduction targets by 2030 for both its air and ground operations, compared to its 2019 baseline.
Calibrating the path to our long-term aspirational goal of net zero GHG emissions by 2050 is complex. We are dedicated to working towards all our climate objectives, but there are significant challenges ahead to meaningfully address our contribution to climate change. And while our emissions represent a significant part of our overall climate impact, other important aspects of the aviation industry’s activities also need to be addressed to further meaningfully mitigate their climate impact.
