ICAO Assembly Oct 2004: Climate Disaster?

September 10, 2004

Aviation is a very important contributor to global warming. In spite of this very unfavourable environmental record and gloomy outlook, there is hardly any policy in place to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases.

In October 2004 ICAO, the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organisation, will hold its triennial Assembly. A resolution is on the table with disastrous wording for the future on environmental policy in aviation, not just at international level, but also at regional level. This paper provides an overview of the situation.
