Aviation Emissions in Context

• Fast, reliable, and safe mode of transport
• 2.3 billion passengers per year carried worldwide
• Scheduled passenger traffic worldwide forecast to grow at 4.6% per year
• Aircraft produced today are 70% more fuel efficient than 40 years ago
• First sector with a special IPCC report (1999)
• Responsible for up to 8% of global economy

Sustainability is a Journey

SUSTAINABILITY

Programme of Action

• A global goal of 2% annual fuel efficiency

improvement

• Further exploration of more ambitious goals

(including carbon neutral growth and long- term emission reductions)

• Development of a CO2 standard for aircraft
• Development of a framework for market-

based measures

• Measures to facilitate access to assistance

for States

• More ambitious goals
• Framework for market-based measures
• Provisions for ensuring that States

receive the assistance that they need

• Agreement on preparation of action

plans by States

Implementation

• Basket of measures

– Technology – Operations – Alternative Fuels – Economic Instruments

• State action plans are critical

– National activities to support global goals – Identify resources needed
