Aviation is a clear and present indicator of the way the globe has established its response to meeting (or not) the Paris Climate Agreement. There is a limit to government and international policy action which can restrict an efficient pathway to decarbonisation. Aviation net zero future is critically dependent on a zero-emission energy revolution and commensurate institutional investment to meet the extreme shortage of “green” energy. A lot of airlines are performing better than net zero transition, yet the industry is perceived as a high carbon and risky stock by many who wish to “green” their investment portfolios. Furthermore, the carbon impact of capital may be greater in other sectors. We present our global perspective on how the City could hold the key to translating net zero leadership in the aviation and energy sectors into a real economic impact.

Speakers:

Captain Robert Seaman BSc FRMetS is Chair of the inter-Livery Green Aviation Task Group, in which he promotes sustainable aviation – the stable, resilient growth of aviation with minimal environmental impact. Robert’s practical work in the City involves delivering net zero aviation financial structures building on previous work advising on Climate Policy (prior to and including the Paris UNFCCC) and a technical understanding of the associated science. Robert is Sustainability Captain for an airline and former advisor on the UK Flight Safety Committee.

Captain Paul Heathcote is a career aviator with experience in a wide variety of aviation, environment and management functions. A current A380 captain who is passionate about the long-term future of aviation. Chairing an Industry Aerospace Technology body and lecturing in sustainable aviation since 2014. Paul also is on an advisory board for mechanical engineering. Paul remains curious about the system-wide practical interaction between technology, capital and environmental impact.
