Monday 2nd March

Aviation is one of the decarbonisation ‘problem child’ industries. International aviation has avoided inclusion in the Paris Agreement, has missed climate goals, greenwashing and tokenism. Geoff Collis will take us through the issues facing this industry – what are the possibilities for decarbonisation, what efforts are being made to change the culture around flying, and what he envisages the future of the industry to be.

Geoff has been in the airline industry for 42 years and for the last 20 years as an Airbus A320 pilot with Jetstar. He has a Masters Degree in Aviation Human Factors, with roles including Crew Resource Management course facilitator, Line Operations Safety Auditor and Fleet Safety Investigator. He left the industry in August 2025, in part due to the industry’s lack of meaningful action on climate change
