STATE ACTION PLANS AIM TO REDUCE CO_2 EMISSIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL AVIATION

摘要

An agreement reached by the 37th Session of the ICAO Assembly in October 2010 established a new benchmark for ICAO's objective relative to aviation and climate change. It provides a roadmap for action through 2050 for the 191 Member States of the Organization and invites them to voluntarily develop and submit national Action Plans to reduce CO_2 emissions from international civil aviation. "The success of each Action Plan relies first on the collaboration with different stakeholders: aviation and environmental authorities, airlines and airports, Air Navigation Service Providers, statistics departments, fuel providers and so on, and then in collecting information from them," said Jane Hupe, ICAO's Chief, Environment Branch. "When you have all the stakeholders around the table you can ensure stronger action initiatives and as the various synergies between the different plans become apparent it helps create momentum. That's the reason for the success of Action Plans."
