Our country fulfills a number of international obligations, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and Annex 16 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation. We are talking about our commitment to the ICAO goal of achieving net zero emissions from international flights by 2050 and are carrying out systematic work in these areas."Nicholas Rallo, Director of the ICAO European and North Atlantic Regional Office (EUR/NAT), stressed in his speech: "One of the Sustainable Development Goals is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2060. This is a fairly ambitious goal, so timely actions by all parties involved are important. Climate change is a very serious challenge. These are not only important steps to work in terms of ecology, all this goes back to the goals of sustainable development. And this is especially important for landlocked countries. All countries should unite in solving this issue. Aviation is the driver that must work ahead of everyone."Olivier Jankovec, Director General of the International Council of Airports in Europe (ACI Europe), said: "Aviation has a great impact on climate change issues. Airports around the world support a program to reduce emissions, and we are trying to reduce the carbon footprint by applying a large number of different measures. Nevertheless, there are a lot of challenges associated with this. Since we have more access to clean energy and the use of safer fuels, eco-friendly aviation fuel has taken a leading position. We see that some countries have already succeeded in this, but I urge all Central Asian countries to join in and do everything in accordance with the SAF policy" (SAF – Sustainable Aviation Fuel).Saltanat Tompieva, Chairman of the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, stressed: "The Green Airports initiative is important for the sustainable development of the aviation industry.
