McCarthy Backs ICAO Aircraft Plan, Pushes for Bolder Emissions Reductions

摘要

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy backed international efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft but admitted she had hoped for a more aggressive schedule for the reductions. "We were hoping for something that would be a little bit more aggressive in time line, but we certainly recognize this has to go through the [International Civil Aviation Organization] process and we were very supportive of the outcome and we hopefully get that over the finish line but do a job of marrying that with really good market-based measures that can be put in to place across all our countries," McCarthy told reporters April 5 at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.
