Airport climate action scales new heights with Level 5
In December 2023, ACI launched a brand-new, topmost level of Airport Carbon Accreditation – Level 5. This new level certifies airports for achieving a net zero carbon balance for emissions under the airport's direct control, and committing to net zero for Scope 3 emissions by 2050 or sooner. The expanded framework of the global carbon standard for airports now empowers the sector's ambitious net zero commitments and provides a global benchmark for net zero achievement. At the moment of launch, 10 airports had met all the stringent requirements of this new level as part of the pilot program.
