The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced on Tuesday the launch of the IATA Recommended Practice Per-Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology, which aims at calculating the amount of carbon emissions produced by a passenger on a specific flight.
As more companies set up voluntary emission reduction targets, passengers, corporates, and travel agents are increasingly demanding precise flight emission information, according to IATA’s press release. The organization’s methodology is thus designed to provide them with an accurate and standardized means to measure emissions from travelers’ journey and compare them to the organization’s reduction goals.
