U.S. Aerospace manufacturers aiming for net zero by 2050
Aviation industry determined to improve their climate targets to reduce net emissions
U.S. aerospace manufacturers are due to update their climate target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 in a bid to strengthen their climate target.
U.S. Aerospace Industries Association will be discussing the move on Monday, aiming to collaborate with airlines and governments to achieve their climate goal.
A similar proposal will be voted on by global airlines on Monday at the annual International Air Transport Association meeting in Boston.
Previously, the target was to halve net emissions by 2050 from 2005 levels.
Currently, aviation contributes to 3 per cent of global emissions, with environmental groups saying more needs to be done by governments to achieve targets efficiently.
Aviation director at Brussels-based Transport and Environment says less travel, specifically corporate travel is a necessary step to reducing emissions.
“Aviation won’t get to net zero by 2050 unless it accepts binding climate laws set at national level,” he says.
Another method involves carbon offset fees which will make flights more expensive but will fund greener travel.
Although difficult to implement, steps to combat carbon emissions are necessary to avoid further global warming, with the U.N reporting a 40 per cent chance of global temperatures rising to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels in the next five years.

Dow surges 500 points amid rate cut optimism
Dow jumps 569 points on fresh hopes for December rate cut and AI market optimism
Dow jumps 569 points on fresh hopes for December rate cut and AI market optimism
– Dow Jones rose 569 points, reflecting optimism for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
– Alphabet’s stock increased as Meta may invest in AI chips, but Nvidia’s declined amid market concerns.
Markets anticipate an 85% chance of a quarter-point rate cut in December, driven by comments from New York Fed President John Williams, who indicated the possibility of lower rates soon. Investor sentiment strengthened following reports that Kevin Hassett may be appointed as the next Fed chair, potentially resulting in a more lenient monetary policy.
Tech Sector
Alphabet saw its stock rise by over 1% after reports indicated that Meta Platforms might invest in its AI chips. This could signal increased demand for AI technology, benefiting the sector overall. However, Nvidia’s stock fell more than 3%, suggesting concerns about its dominance in the AI chip market.
Investors are also wary of the valuation of tech stocks. Despite recent gains, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain down over 1% and 3%, respectively, for November, while the Dow has lost more than 1% this month. The broader market’s performance indicates ongoing scrutiny regarding tech valuations amid changing economic expectations.
