This event provides background on ICAO’s climate impact and measures, consider the double counting dilemma for both general reporting and under markets discussions, and present recommendations and best practice in carbon markets for transparency and accounting.
In February 2017, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal regarding coverage of aviation emissions by the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). In response to the offsetting agreement reached in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in October of 2016, the Commission proposes to cover only intra-European flights with the EU ETS and to exclude flights entering and leaving Europe.
Today, the Environment and Public Health Committee (ENVI) at the European Parliament voted against a deal that would have extended the derogation for intercontinental flights from the EU Emissions Trading System.
