The aviation sector plays a key role in advancing 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The NGAP Programme, in particular, makes a direct contribution to at least five of these key goals:
SDG 4 – Quality Education by promoting accessible, inclusive, and high-quality education in aviation, while providing clear pathways for youth to pursue careers in the sector.
SDG 5 – Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by advancing gender balance and empowering women within the aviation sector.
SDG 8 – Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all: by creating quality job opportunities for youth in aviation, fostering sustainable economic growth.
SDG 10 –Reduce inequality within and among countries by ensuring equal and inclusive access to aviation careers and development opportunities globally.
SDG 13 – Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by empowering youth to lead green innovations in aviation, accelerating the industry's transition to a zero-emissions future.
