Capping Aviation Sector Emissions through Multilateral Mechanism

Cover PP Flugemissionen

During 2013, discussions intensified regarding a global mechanism for addressing emissions of international aviation. This is amongst others due to the fact that in fall 2013 the general assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will meet. The general assembly is the highest decision making body of ICAO and meets only every three years. Therefore interest is high in this year’s general assembly and a lot of negotiations have taken place beforehand.

The “Common position Paper on Capping Aviation Sector Emissions through Multilateral Mechanism” finalized in summer 2013 is a position paper developed by CANSA (Climate Action Network South Asia) and Germanwatch which describes their common position on addressing international aviation emissions through a global mechanism.
