The CORSIA: ICAO’s market-based measure and implications for Europe

The document argues that the ICAO's CORSIA scheme is insufficient to achieve carbon neutral growth by 2020 or align aviation with the Paris Agreement's 1.5 degree warming limit. It highlights the need for further regional and national efforts to address aviation's climate impact and provides recommendations for maintaining European ambition.

• The Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), agreed upon by ICAO Member States on October 6th, is designed to compensate for emissions growth from 2020 levels but is considered inadequate for meeting the carbon neutral growth in 2020 (CNG2020) goal or the Paris Agreement's 1.5 degree warming limit.
