Airline Industry Becomes First to Formally Adopt UN Pact to Global Limit Emissions

摘要

A United Nations accord to limit emissions from international air travel was formally adopted, the first global climate accord targeting a single industry. After nine days of debate, delegates from 190 nations approved the measure Oct. 6 in Montreal, requiring companies to offset emissions growth after 2020 by funding environmental initiatives. It is the first global climate accord adopted since the Paris Agreement, which will enter into force next month.
