Business Aviation Leaders Laud Formation of Senate Sustainable Aviation Caucus
/CLIMBING. FAST., an advocacy initiative focused on advancing business aviation’s bold commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, today welcomed the formation of the bipartisan Senate Sustainable Aviation Caucus, announced this week.
The caucus has been founded by Sens. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), John Boozman (R-AR) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Sens. Moran and Duckworth will serve as caucus chairs.
“CLIMBING. FAST. applauds Senators Moran, Duckworth, Boozman and Klobuchar for forming this important caucus in support of the sector’s goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions. We appreciate their bipartisan leadership on policies to foster aviation sustainability innovation, on the ground and in the air,” the campaign’s organization partners said in a joint statement.
