Aviation deal likely next year
Print Edition
A deal on limiting carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft will likely be reached next year, no matter the outcome of this week’s climate change talks in Paris, a senior official from the International Air Transport Association said yesterday.
The aviation industry is not covered by the United Nations climate talks because it is organized under a separate UN body, the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The latest draft of a climate change pact dropped any mention of aviation or shipping, although officials from Europe said they were working hard for a paragraph encouraging nations to curb the carbon output of these two industries to be put back in.
ICAO is working on options for a market-based system to enable airlines to reduce emissions by buying carbon offsets or allowances, plus a global CO2 emissions standard for aircraft.
