Presidential pardon gives no-cost airlines the all clear
Expanding the EU ETS to all departing EEA flights, including those operated by US airlines, is crucial to generate much needed revenue and spark aviation’s green transition.
With or without penalties, CORSIA doesn’t score for the climate
The International Civil Aviation Organisation hailed its Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) as a global, harmonised answer to aviation’s growing climate impact. Yet the reality is very different: patchy enforcement, limited coverage, and heavy reliance on problematic offsetting with carbon credits.
Unsafe for takeoff: False solutions will not help aviation sector navigate climate crisis
The aviation industry is championing offsetting, carbon removals and other technical quick fixes to help it fly under the radar of climate action and avoid actual emissions reductions.
EU ETS vs CORSIA: Which better navigates the turbulence of the climate crisis?
Carbon Market Watch commissioned environmental consultants Ricardo to produce a study comparing the functioning of the EU ETS and CORSIA, and their respective climate ambitions. In this policy briefing, we present the study’s main findings and formulate policy recommendations.
CORSIA: Hot air carbon credits cannot offset polluting planes
The first carbon credits issued under the UN’s CORSIA offsetting scheme will do nothing to bring down the aviation sector’s sky high emissions.
