International Civil Aviation Organization committee agrees to regulate aviation emissions

摘要

The UN's aviation body, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), has approved an agreement amongst its member states to formulate a strategy to curb carbon emissions from 2020. A proposal for the EU to apply its own ETS to foreign airlines in the meantime was rejected. Delegates at the ICAO's 38th Assembly have endorsed a plan to develop a global market-based mechanism (MBM) for international aviation.
