International Aviation and Climate Change: The ICAO
Contribution
Jane HupeChief, Environment Branch
ICAO
Setting the Scene• Fast, reliable, and safe mode of transport• Responsible for 4-8% of global economy• No comparative alternatives for long haul pax transport• 2.3 billion pax/year carried worldwide• Scheduled pax traffic worldwide forecast to grow at 4.6% per year• Aircraft produced today are 70% more fuel efficient than 40 years ago• First sector with a special IPCC report (1999)
Global GHG Emissions by Sector, 2004
Aviation’s Global CO2 Emissions, 2000(Int’l Aviation’s Contribution was ~1.2%)

ICAO’s Three Environmental Goals for Civil Aviation
• Reduce the number of people exposed to significant noise
• Reduce the impact of aviation emissions on local air quality
• Reduce the impact of aviation emissions on the global climate
(Let’s focus on progress achieved in regard to the third goal.)

Since ICAO last Assembly: develop, organize, facilitate, set, innovate,
assess, approve, publish, investigate, promote, support, lead by consensus, communicate, analyze, establish, disseminate, encourage, design, achieve, etc.

ICAO’s Three Years of Achievement
2007 • ICAO Assembly mandates formation of Group
on International Aviation and Climate Change (GIACC) and High-level Meeting (HLM) to develop concrete proposals in connection with the UNFCCC process
5
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2008• GIACC explores three elements of ICAO
Programme of Action:1. Global aspirational fuel-efficiency goals2. Measures to achieve emissions reductions3. Measures and metrics to monitor progress
6
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2009• HLM develops only globally-harmonized
agreement by any sector on CO2 emissions:1. 2% annual fuel efficiency improvement2. CO2 standard for aircraft3. Decision to develop framework for market-
based measures4. Measures to assist developing States7
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2009 (Cont’d)5. Collection by ICAO of international civil
aviation emissions data6. Submission to ICAO of States’ Voluntary
Action Plans on Emissions• Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels
establishes ICAO Global Framework for Aviation Alternative Fuels
8
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2010• The Organization, States and industry continue
to 1. Explore feasibility of more ambitious goals2. Develop a framework for market-based
measures in international aviation3. Elaborate on measures to assist States
9
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2010 (Cont’d)• CAEP 8• ICAO Colloquium on Aviation and Climate
Change• Further assessments• Cooperation with financial institutions• Global Framework on Alternative Aviation
Fuels10
Three Years of Achievement (Cont’d)
2010 (Cont’d)
• Action plans• Proposal for new policy• Launch of second ICAO Environmental Report
11
Three Underlying Determinants of ICAO’s Actions
• A sense of responsibilityICAO’s commitment to environmental
protection predates both Rio 92 and UNFCCC• A culture of leadership# of firsts; wide UN use of carbon calculator• A commitment to partnershipUNFCCC, States, industry, UN system, NGOs12
What We Can Expect
Assembly to decide on the way forward:
Medium-term global goalProcess for elaboration on a long-term
global goalFramework for market-based measuresAssistance for StatesStates’ action plans
13
Looking Ahead
• 2010 Challenges: Assembly and UNFCCC, then…• Assembly sets a new work programme• CAEP work will continue/intensify• Facilitate alternative fuels development/deployment• Coordinate/cooperate with other UN bodies (New
climate agreement)• Sustainability of aviation
