Submission through the Climate Action Network (CAN) on cooperative sectoral approaches and sector specific actions: emissions from international aviation and maritime transport

The submission advocates for carbon pricing in the international aviation and maritime sectors to reduce emissions and generate funds for climate action, while cautioning against the use of non-additional offsets based on experiences with JI and CDM.

• International aviation and maritime transport are significant and rapidly increasing sources of greenhouse gas emissions that are currently under-taxed from an environmental standpoint.
• Carbon pricing is proposed as an effective, fair, and equitable method to reduce emissions and generate funding for climate action in developing countries and within the transport sectors themselves.
• Funds from carbon pricing could finance emissions reductions via NAMAs or the purchase of emissions allowances, though the use of offsets requires stringent quality standards because many offsets from the Joint Implementation (JI) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) have proven not to be additional.
