Modern aviation had never seen a year like 2020. And it begs the question: Can sustainable aviation finally get off the ground? Regardless, pressure has been on aviation to join other sectors in dramatically cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Three things can be done to reduce aviation's climate impact. The answer is yes.
