More work needed to make aviation’s climate tool fit for purpose

The statement emphasizes that ICAO's CORSIA must be aligned with the UNFCCC's Paris Agreement framework, specifically regarding transparency, accounting for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and the global stocktake, to ensure that carbon credits are not double-counted by 2018.

• The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is a sectoral mechanism that will purchase UNFCCC carbon credits from projects in other sectors globally, necessitating transparency to determine who claims specific emissions reductions.
• To ensure success, CORSIA must be integrated into the Paris framework on markets, with both ICAO and the UNFCCC needing to finalize offset criteria, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV), and NDC accounting details by 2018.
• Operationalizing criteria to avoid double counting for ICAO-eligible offsets requires a clear understanding of the post-Paris carbon market landscape and the principles of the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM).
