States’ Action Plans andAssistance to States

Resolution A37-19

• Invites States that choose to submit their action plans to submit them to ICAO as soon as possible, preferably by the end of June 2012

• Requests ICAO to provide guidance and other technical assistance for the preparation of States’ action plans, in order for States to conduct their necessary studies and to voluntarily submit their action plans to ICAO

• Requests ICAO to study, identify and develop processes and mechanisms to facilitate the provision of technical and financial assistance

• Requests ICAO to facilitate access to existing and new financial resources, technology transfer and capacity building

• Requests that ICAO continue to cooperate with other UN Organizations

Slide 4

Benefits of Action Plans

• For StatesOpportunity to identify and communicate measures to address CO2 emissions from international aviation, as well as identify any assistance needed to implement the measures

• For ICAOAssess the global progress towards the achievement of aspirational goals and address States’ specific assistance needs.

Communication Tool between ICAO and its Member States

ICAO - Concrete action to address CO2 emissions

Slide 5

States’ Action Plans – ICAO Support

• Guidance Document for the Development of States’ Action Plans (Doc 9988)

• ICAO APER Website

• ICAO Hands-on Training workshops (2011-2012)

• Over 200 teleconferences and meetings with States’ Focal Points

• Support provided by Regional Offices and TCB

Slide 6

Action Plan Contents

• List of measures selected to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions

• Data that will allow future progress toward the global aspirational goals, to be assessed by ICAO

Basket of Measures

• Aircraft related technology development • Alternative fuels • Improved air traffic management and

infrastructure use ( i.e. more efficient ATM planning, more efficient use and planning of airport capacities)

• More efficient operations (i.e. best practices in operations, optimised aircraft maintenance)

• Economic/ market-based measures • Regulatory measures • Other

Assistance for States’ Action Plans

Phase 1: Assistance for Preparation of Action Plans ICAO Hands-on Training Workshops on States’ Action Plans

Teleconferences and meetings to provide assistance to States

ENV/TCB Strategic Plan for the provision of assistance

Technical and financial support, capacity building and training requested by States in the implementation of the identified measures

ICAO “Assistance for Action - Aviation and Climate Change“ Seminar in Oct. 2012

ICAO Symposium “Destination Green” in May 2013

Review of States’ Action Plans

Submission of the updated Action Plan

Phase 2: Assistance for Implementation/Update of Action Plans

Slide 15

Assistance requested by States

Assistance requested to ICAO /ENV to develop Action Plan

Assistance requested to ICAO/TCB/ENV to develop/implement Action Plan

Assistance requested to ICAO for the implementation of measures identified through Action Plan

Slide 16

Example of Assistance Requested: TCB-ENV Collaboration• IndonesiaAssistance requested in the development and the implementation of environmental measures for civil aviation including the improvement of the management and reduction of aviation carbon emissions:

– improvements on emissions reduction, operational programmes, more efficient airspace design, advice on appropriate market-based measures, initiatives relating to alternative fuels

Slide 17

ICAO Meetings on State Action Plans and Assistance

• ICAO Symposium “Destination Green”– States’ Action Plans to reduce CO2 emissions – ICAO’s strategy on assistance to States – New technology Standards including the CO2 Standard

for aircraft– Sustainable alternative fuels for aviation– Market-based measures to reduce aviation emissions

• Pre-Symposium Seminar on State Action Plans

http://www.icao.int/Meetings/Green/Pages/default.aspx

ICAO “Assistance for Action – Aviation and Climate Change” Seminar - Capacity building- Alternative fuels - Financing for emissions reduction actions- Technology transfer - Technical support – ICAO web-based tools and databases - Round table discussion presenting on States’ perspectives

Summary of Achievements

• Very positive – coverage (78.96%) above expectations (91 States trained, 155 States contacted, 63 States’ Action Plans submitted, 114 States’ Focal Points identified)

• Substantial support from States• Engagement by States in developing Action Plans in a

short time• Many synergies for action generated - Involvement of

different actors• Improvement of the knowledge and experience

acquired

However, improvements are needed

Slide 20

Focus on Improvements

• Revised Action Plan to improve:– Data – robust enough to contribute to ICAO report

on global international aviation CO2 emissions reduction

– Use of tools developed by ICAO – Mitigation measures – new submissions should have

more information on the selected measures / environmental benefits of implementation of measures

– Assistance needs – new submissions should identify support needed

Slide 21

Next Steps

Regional workshops worldwideUpdate of 9888, APER website, and aviation environmental toolsEncourage States to submit and update their action plan by June 2015

Regional workshops worldwideEnd of June 2015 –submission of new and updated action plans
