Building momentum towards the ICAO Assembly

September 27, 2016

This year is particularly important for aviation’s climate action. This week, representatives of the world’s governments will convene at the 39th International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly to enter into final negotiations on a global scheme for offsetting aviation CO2 emissions. If they agree on a measure, commercial aviation will be the first sector to deploy such a global market mechanism.

The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) has the potential to create a step change in the means by which aviation addresses its climate impact, offsetting growth in emissions from 2020. The CORSIA proposal, as it stands now, sets out two initial voluntary phases, followed by a mandatory third phase from 2027 to 2035. The industry has long advocated all countries agreeing on a mandatory offsetting scheme from the beginning.

We have spoken to a number of young aviation professionals about their hopes for the sustainable future of air transport and asked for their thoughts on the importance of the CORSIA scheme.

  6. For children ages 3 to 13, Downtown Disney throws a “lucky” clover scavenger hunt between five to eight p.m, offering prizes for finding the hidden clovers There are so many popular mehndi designs available at Fashionladki.

  13. Green juice has gained popularity for the list of health benefits associated with drinking it. It’s a convenient way to ensure you’re getting close to — if not all of — the USDA’s daily recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Green juice can be quite tasty, and if you heed a few parameters, you may experience health benefits such as more energy, improved immunity and weight loss. The key is making sure you control the calories — in addition to consuming your juice at the right time.

  16. Since juicing vegetables removes the fiber and makes the sugar more readily available, you’ll need to use that sugar wisely. Consume carbs within 30 minutes of training to restore the glucose you’ve used during your workout. This keeps the muscles from using protein as an energy source. Using the sugar in the green juice to replace glycogen stores that were depleted while working out means the sugar isn’t stored in the body as excess glucose, which may be stored as fat if you take in more glucose than the body needs or has the capacity to store.

This blog provides a platform for dialogue on aviation matters bringing together the EU policy makers with our industry partners to further support a European aerospace agenda focused on enabling air transport growth in Europe.

This blog is to provide a platform for dialogue on aviation matters bringing together the EU policy makers with our industry partners to further support a European aerospace agenda focused on enabling sustainable air transport growth in Europe.

Aviation is a key sector in the global economy. It is an essential part of modern life; it helps drive economic growth and prosperity and brings people of the world closer together. But beyond fuelling economic growth and mobility, the aerospace industry is strategically important because of the high technological content of the products created, the large investment in research and technology and the creation of high skilled employment. The role that EU policies can play in unleashing the full potential of aviation is strategic and substantial, whether that is environmentally progressive air transport, safe and efficient air traffic systems, a more efficient infrastructure and sustainable aviation biofuels.

Boeing recognises the serious challenges facing our ecosystem and is committed to improving the environmental performance of its operations, products and services. Our greatest contribution to meeting the challenge is to pioneer new technologies for environmentally progressive products and services and to design, develop and build them in an environmentally progressive manner.

We believe that together we can and should promote, define and support a new comprehensive aviation policy framework for Europe that by balancing sustainability with growth and safety can put aviation again at the centre of the policy debate and ensure the region can strategically use the positive potential of air transport for the years to come.
