Advancing Climate & Nature Leadership Through the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) Framework

We invite you to join a focused roundtable series for sustainability and finance leaders in the airport sector. These small, interactive sessions will explore how airports can advance through the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) framework while strengthening climate, nature, and ESG performance. 

Please choose one (or both) of the sessions below:

Airports face rising expectations from regulators, passengers, investors, and communities. Strong climate and nature action is now essential for resilience and long‑term competitiveness. 

ACA offers the globally recognised pathway for measuring, managing, and reducing carbon impacts. With over 600 airports accredited worldwide, the sector is moving towards sustainable performance and nature‑positive outcomes.  Anthesis supports airports at every stage of ACA progression, helping embed climate, nature, circularity, and equity into strategic decision‑making and enabling high‑integrity climate action. 

Each roundtable brings together peers and Anthesis specialists to share insights, co‑develop practical solutions and to address the new updates to the ACA guidance.

Session A

Accelerating Progress Through the ACA Framework: From Commitment to Credible Delivery 

The ACA’s strengthened requirements, introduced in June 2025, have raised expectations around environmental integrity, emissions reductions, and credible use of carbon credits. These updates align with leading voluntary carbon market reforms, including the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles. 

This session explores what airports need to know – and do – to progress to the next stage of ACA while embedding climate and nature considerations across the organisation. 

Session B

Ensuring Integrity: Sourcing & Communicating Carbon Credits for ACA Compliance 

With ACA’s updated offsetting criteria now in place, airports are expected to demonstrate stronger governance, transparency, and environmental integrity in the carbon credits they source and use. This session explores how to make responsible, nature‑aligned offsetting decisions that reinforce your organisation’s climate credibility.
