    Session 1: sustainable mobility
    This session will consider how aviation, connectivity and mobility help to build social development. The improved connectivity provided by air transport can further enhance economic performance, reduce inequalities throughout the world thanks to passenger traffic and trade links and provide remote communities with access to vital goods and services. The aim of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to improve the lives of people in ways other than financial prosperity. Mobility is also top of the UN’s agenda, with the Sustainable Mobility for All initiative being championed by the World Bank and numerous multilateral agencies. What role can aviation play in this context?

    Speed panel: reduce, reuse and recycle
    As European countries consider legislation banning single-use plastics, and similar waste-related regulations are being discussed in other parts of the world, this panel will look at how aviation, with its particular challenges, can respond to the questions of food hygiene, recyclability, international waste legislation and weight. What solutions already exist?

    Session 2: climate change
    Ten years ago at the ATAG Summit, the world’s air transport industry set out a pathway for carbon-neutral growth. A decade on, how is work progressing and what further action is required in order to meet the industry’s goals? How does aviation compare to other industry sectors and global initiatives? This session will include a series of presentations followed by a short debate.

    Speed panel: empowering employees to be sustainably responsible
    Employees throughout the aviation sector have an important role to play in delivering on strategic sustainable development and environmental efficiency goals. How can we best empower people throughout their organisations and the industry at large to promote a sustainable agenda? How can we communicate on these principles across a diverse workforce?
    Speakers:
    14:25  -  15:20
    Session 3: diversity
    Aviation’s workforce currently does not fully reflect our passenger base or the communities we serve. This panel will discuss the gender and ethnic makeup of the aviation sector and consider how to ensure women and ethnic minorities are better represented, particularly in technical and executive functions. It will also explore how we can best meet the needs of women travellers, with a focus on safety.

    Session 4: the future according to millenials and CEOs
    This panel will invite three millennial aviation professionals to challenge three current industry chief executives about their vision for sustainable development in aviation. Discussions will focus on building the workforces of the future, identifying the key sustainability drivers for the next generation of aircraft crews, executives and passengers and tackling climate change.

    Workshop A - Countdown to CORSIA
    On 1 January 2019, airlines and aircraft operators will need to start monitoring their CO2 emissions as part of the world-leading ICAO CORSIA scheme. Challenges remain to ensure the scheme’s successful implementation, specifically: readiness of authorities and airlines, uncertainty in carbon markets, the introduction of new unilateral measures to deal with aviation’s emissions and progress in the UNFCCC. This workshop will encourage dialogue between experts from governments, airlines, NGOs, carbon markets and other industry stakeholders on issues that are of critical importance to the success of the first climate measure of its type for any global industry.

    Includes the following sessions:

    • Introduction
    • Countdown to 1 January 2019 - the panel will provide an overview of the steps to be taken by authorities, operators and verification bodies to prepare for the imminent implementation of CORSIA.
    • Are governments ready?
    • Are carbon markets ready - the aviation industry has stressed the importance of ensuring sufficient supply of eligible carbon offsets to satisfy demand from the sector. The panelists will provide an update on the state of the carbon market and future availability of carbon offsets.
    • External factors and CORSIA - with the imminent implementation of CORSIA, there are several factors that have influenced its development and could impact its success, in particular ongoing work to implement the Paris Agreement and the continued increase in other carbon pricing instruments.
    • FRED+ - find out about the FRED+ platform to support and facilitate emissions reporting for aircraft operators and states.

    Workshop B - Airports, ANSPs and sustainable development
    • Local sustainable development and stakeholder engagement - this session will address current challenges of community relations, the pace of social media interaction and potential solutions, such as new technologies and innovative ways to engage.
    • Managing noise though an innovative approach - this session will focus on innovative noise management initiatives around airports.
    • Resilience and adaptation to climate change - increasingly adverse weather conditions as a result of "changing climate" have already started to impact airport infrastructure and aviation operations around airports and beyond.  Recent examples in the Caribbean have shown that risk assessments are essential to aviation stakeholders' planning.  This session will address practices already in place and future plans that can help the industry to work towards becoming more resilient.

    Workshop C - Aviation partnerships for sustainable development
    This workshop, jointly run by ICAO and several United Nations agencies, is aimed at encouraging dialogue and action between aviation industry and government representatives.
    • Aviation as an enabler to UN SDGs and a key element in National Plans - awareness of how aviation could facilitate sustainable mobility, how to bring better synergy between aviation and urban development, and how to incorporate aviation into national planning will also be raised through panel discussion.
    • Trialogue: transforming aviation benefits into reality - ways forward - with participation from representatives from national civil aviation authorities, industry and financial institutions, the session will look at the importance of prioritising aviation in national development plans, as well as creating opportunities of formalising partnerships in support of aviation infrastructure investment.

    Workshop D - Tackling trafficking: human and wildlife
    • Wildlife trafficking: aviation has taken a lead in the private sector response to the threat of wildlife trafficking. Experts will highlight the level of exploitation and demonstrate what the sector can do to help combat this trade.
    • Human trafficking - beyond the cabin crew: human trafficking is the fastest growing and second largest criminal industry in the world. The connectivity provided by airlines can be abused by criminals to transport human trafficking victims. This session will look beyond the cabin crew to other stakeholders that play a critical role in responding to suspected trafficking both in the air and on the ground.

    Session 5: sustainable aviation fuels
    The future growth and development of air transport will rely on the availability of sustainable sources of energy. For medium- and long-haul flights, this will be in the form of liquid sustainable aviation fuels. Developments in this area are therefore a vital part of long-term planning for the air transport sector. This panel will look at the developments in sustainable alternative fuels since the first commercial flight in 2008, the latest updates on the topic and provide a deep dive into how we can accelerate deployment.
