Feasibility of a long term global aspirational goal for international aviation
Following the agreement by the Council on the CAEP proposal regarding further work on the
feasibility of a long-term global aspirational goal to reduce CO2 emissions in international aviation, , the CAEP Long-Term Aspirational Goal Task Group (CAEP LTAG-TG) was established and it started its work in March 2020. In accordance with the Council-approved work plan, CAEP LTAG-TG progressed its technical work to undertake: a) data gathering on aviation in-sector CO2 emissions reductions; b) development of emissions reduction scenarios; and c) impacts analysis of the scenarios, including possible options and a roadmap.
In particular, substantial progress was achieved by CAEP LTAG-TG with respect to the relevant methodology and process for data gathering and scenario development, parameters of the long-term aspirational goal’s time horizon, and the possibility of following a per annum improvement approach as a means to align with other CAEP work.
In this regard, ICAO worked with aviation stakeholders on building the ICAO Global Coalition for Sustainable Aviation.
