ICAO environmental report 2010

Building upon the information provided in the previous report, the 2010 Report presents the results of the eighth meeting of ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP/8, February 2010), as well as the latest developments in the areas showcased during the ICAO Colloquium on Aviation and Climate Change (May 2010). Many of the featured articles summarize studies and reports by some of the foremost international experts and renowned scientists in their fields. Other articles highlight developments that have emanated from various UN fora such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is well understood in the international aviation industry that without a global approach, unilateral actions may well lead to fragmented and ineffective measures. As we prepare for the future, we must consider a long-term global response to climate change that is in line with the latest scientific findings and global policies in the area. We need to set development goals that are sustainable, realizing the full potential of all possible measures. Above all, we must do it together, under the leadership of ICAO and in cooperation with all stakeholders.
