Riga Airport Aims To Achieve Climate Neutrality In 10 Years

RIX Riga Airport has committed to becoming climate neutral by 2035 – 15 years earlier than originally planned. The updated Net Zero 2050 strategy focuses on significantly reducing all greenhouse gas emissions from Airport operations, including both direct and indirect sources.

Riga Airport is phasing out fossil fuels such as diesel and natural gas in transport and building heating, replacing them with sustainable solutions like solar energy, electric vehicles, and enhanced energy efficiency. At the same time, it is assessing and managing indirect emissions, including those from aircraft and supplier transport using Airport infrastructure.

“Decisions made today determine the world we live in tomorrow. By implementing the Net Zero strategy, we are not only reducing our climate impact but also setting an example for others. It is our responsibility to provide a green, safe, and modern airport for today’s and tomorrow’s passengers,” said Laila Odiņa, Chairperson of the Board of Riga Airport.

RIX has already achieved Level 3 in the global Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, demonstrating progress in reducing emissions and fostering collaboration across the aviation sector. The next target is Level 3+, which requires full offsetting of direct emissions while actively addressing indirect ones.
