Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on Tuesday announced that it would become a “net zero carbon emission airport” by the year 2030 —well ahead of the 2050 deadline set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — the airport operator, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), has announced.
The announcement was part of a video which was displayed by the Airport Council International (ACI) during the COP-26, the United Nations summit on climate change held recently in Glasgow, UK.
Net zero emissions mean that all man-made greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, are removed from the atmosphere through reduction measures to tackle global warming.
