A41-21 Consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policies and practices related to environmental protection Climate change Whereas ICAO and its Member States recognize the critical importance of providing continuous leadership to international civil aviation in limiting or reducing its emissions that contribute to global climate change Reemphasizing the vital role which international aviation plays in global economic and social development and the need to ensure that international aviation continues to develop in a sustainable manner Acknowledging that the work of the Organization on the environment contributes to 14 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDGs, including SDG 13 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts Whereas a comprehensive assessment of aviations impact on the atmosphere is contained in the special report on Aviation and the Global Atmosphere, published in 1999, which was prepared at ICAOs request by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC Whereas the IPCC special report recognized that the effects of some types of aircraft emissions are well understood, it revealed that the effects of others are not, and identified a number of key areas of scientific uncertainty that limit the ability to project aviations full impacts on climate and ozone the Organization will update the information contained in the IPCC special report Acknowledging that international aviation emissions continue to account for less than 2 per cent of total global CO2 emissions, and they are projected to increase as a result of the continued growth of air transport, unless action for emissions reduction is taken Whereas the ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC is to achieve stabilization of greenhouse gas GHG concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system Whereas the Kyoto Protocol, which was adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005, calls for developed countries Annex I Parties to pursue limitation or reduction of greenhouse gases from aviation bunker fuels international aviation working through ICAO Article 2.2 Whereas the Paris Agreement, which was adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in December 2015, enhances the implementation of the UNFCCC including its objective, and aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change Whereas the Glasgow Climate Pact, which was adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in November 2021, reaffirms the long-term global goal to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change, and the Glasgow Climate Pact also recognizes that the impacts of climate change will be much lower at the temperature increase of 1.5C compared with 2C and resolves to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C Recognizing the global aspirational goals for the international aviation sector of improving fuel efficiency by 2 per cent per annum and keeping the net carbon emissions from 2020 at the same level, as adopted by the ICAO Assembly at its 37th Session in 2010 and reaffirmed at its 38th, 39th and 40th Sessions in 2013, 2016 and 2019, respectively Acknowledging the substantial ICAO work undertaken to explore the feasibility of a long-term global aspirational goal LTAG for international aviation in light of the 2C and 1.5C temperature goals of the Paris Agreement
