The sector is hard to decarbonize, and in addition to that, it is lagging behind in terms of aspirations. A strategy to decarbonize the sector should address the reduction of demand, new fuels, and could be supported by additional technologies and more efficient operations.
The summary for policy makers summarizes R&D aspects of the decarbonation of the aviation sector

But in addition, a new governance of the sector will probably be needed: 2/3 of the emissions of the sector are not covered by the Paris agreement at present (international flights), and it is not clear that the aspirational targets of @icao are convincing.
(note: I don't know the details of the 2022 aspirational targets of @icao and happy to read other's opinion on that, but the assessment of earlier @icao plans by chapter 10 of the WGIII is clear: it was clearly not sufficient)
The sector needs fundamental shifts and to rethink its responsibility to contribute positively to sustainable development in the 21st century.
20 years ago, I was student at @ISAE_officiel - I think this is a great place for students who want to develop an aviation sector that supports sustainable development while considering the planetary boundaries
I think that this will require fundamental shifts in R&D, in governance, and also in the narratives of the sector.
Many thanks to the organisers of yesterday's meeting on this topic (I was just listenning)
