BASED ON A WORKING PAPER

OVERVIEW
▪ Aviation industry has submitted a joint working
paper to the 38th ICAO Assembly
» With full support from ACI (airports), CANSO
(ANSPs), IATA (airlines), ICCAIA (manufacturers) and
IBAC (business aviation)
▪ Key request: that governments meeting at
ICAO agree on a clearly defined process
(roadmap) to develop a single global MBM, to
be adopted by the next ICAO Assembly in 2016

Kyoto protocol in 1997 agrees for ‘developed’ States to address emissions
from international aviation through ICAO.
Since then, Parties meeting at the UNFCCC have been unable to reach
agreement on how to deal with the mitigation of aviation emissions.
In 1996 and in 2004, ICAO explored various MBM options for aviation.
In 2009, ICAO set up a Group on International Aviation and Climate Change
(GIACC) to explore new options, including carbon offsets and trading
In 2010, at the 37th ICAO Assembly, agreement was reached on a set of
targets, including CNG2020
From 2010 to 2013, ICAO and member states have been analyzing and
narrowing down options for a global MBM for aviation.
In September 2013, the 38th ICAO Assembly will decide a way forward on the
issue.
In 2008, industry leaders sign a declaration outlining the four-pillar strategy.
In 2009, the industry agrees world-first sector-wide CO2 reduction targets.
In 2013, the industry agrees principles for operationalizing CNG2020.
MARKET-BASED MEASURES
▪ ICAO has a shortlist of three options for a global
MBM:
1
Global carbon offsetting
2
Global carbon offsetting + additional
revenue component
3
Global emissions trading scheme
▪ Industry believes that a global carbon offsetting
mechanism is the quickest, easiest and most
cost-efficient solution
AIRLINE RESOLUTION
▪ 18-month process involving airlines worldwide
▪ Key considerations:
» Early movers – how to reward airlines that upgraded
fleets just before the MBM comes in?
» Fast growth – how to adjust for airlines in parts of the
world where there is fast economic growth?
» New entrants – how to treat new airlines that start
flying after the MBM is put in place?
▪ Resolution overwhelmingly adopted by the IATA
AGM on 3 June 2013 in Cape Town, followed by
ACI resolution, CANSO and IBAC statements
INDUSTRY POSITION
▪ Industry recommends to the 38th ICAO Assembly:
» a single global market-based measure for aviation;
» a simple offsetting scheme as the easiest and fastest
to implement;
» agree a roadmap for developing a global MBM to be
adopted at the next Assembly in 2016;
» agree the principles of developing a global MBM;
» develop an ICAO standard on MRV; and
» develop a mechanism to define the quality of the
offsets that could be used under a global MBM.
PRINCIPLES FOR A GLOBAL MBM
▪ Any global market-based measure for aviation
should:
be considered as
part of a broader set
of measures
maximize
environmental
integrity
be easy to implement
and administer
be cost-efficient and
preserve fair
competition
consider SCRC,
while ensuring equal
treatment of
operators
not be designed to
raise general
revenues or
suppress demand
INDUSTRY POSITION: ROADMAP
38th ICAO
Assembly
2013
Develop ICAO Standard on monitoring,
reporting and verification (MRV)
Proposal
Agree responsibilities, application and
accounting rules (incl. no duplication)
Define mechanism to decide on
acceptable types of verified carbon credits
COP/19

COP/20

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
▪ In defining equitable responsibilities for
operators, governments are asked to consider
the following principles:
»
»
»
»
»
»
»
»
Collective industry baseline at 2018 – 2020 average
Operator baseline at 2018 – 2020 average
New entrant provision
Individual responsibility based on combination of total emissions
share and own emissions growth post-2020
Adjustments for fast-growing operators
Adjustments for “early movers”
Data integrity through common MRV standard
Periodic system quality review cycle
GLOBAL AGREEMENT
▪ Agreement at the 38th Assembly will benefit
everyone:
» It creates regulatory stability and predictability, stimulating
investment in effective CO2 measures
» It allows for sustainable growth of aviation, generating socioeconomic benefits
» It promotes the principle of equal opportunities, protecting growth
aspirations in all regions
» It promotes ICAO objectives and affirms its leadership
» It supports UN climate negotiations
