Cooperation with Other International Bodies
ICAO’s work in the field of environmental protection, and notably climate change activities, involves cooperation with a number of other United Nations bodies, in particular the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its working groups.
ICAO participated in the Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany, in November 2017 and provided a statement and submission.
In September, ICAO participated in the 23rd Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) of the UN Environmental Management Group (EMG). The SOM endorsed the report on environmental sustainability management and invited the EMG to continue its joint work, to ensure progressive implementation of the UN Roadmap for Climate Neutrality by 2020.
ICAO was also represented at meetings of the EMG Issue Management Groups (IMGs), of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and at UN coordination meetings on the environment and climate change.
The Organization also continued to keep abreast of further developments on the environment in other UN bodies relevant to international aviation, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
