2019 Environmental Report

​​

Over the past three years, the progress and pace of change in international aviation environmental protection has been unprecedented, driven by key decisions from ICAO Member States, technological progress and societal expectations. 


The ICAO Environmental Report 2019 is the result of ICAO efforts and consolidates this progress in a single reference publication, through various articles and case studies that can best inform the public of the work conducted by the ICAO Secretariat, ICAO Member States, aviation industry and the many other stakeholders involved in this fast evolving topic. 


The ICAO Environmental Report 2019 can be downloaded below.
