Aviation is growing, but its environmental impact does not have to - if the technology and policies are available to de-carbonise the sector.

We hear from a company making sustainable aviation fuel with waste CO2; the head of one of the world's busiest airports, and from the body representing airports around the world.

Robin Pomeroy, Podcasts Editor, World Economic Forum; Laia Barbarà, Head, Climate Strategy - Net Zero, World Economic Forum

Guests:

Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports
