EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

European coordination group drafts papers towards ICAO Assembly

23 March 2022 — The European Aviation and Environment Group (Expanded) held a meeting to coordinate the drafting of two European working papers for the 41st ICAO Assembly. The first addressed climate change and the long-term aspirational goal for international aviation (LTAG), which is the first European priority for the ICAO Assembly. The second is on the review of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

The group also coordinated a draft information paper on promoting sustainable aviation fuels in Europe and agreed to recommend another on the upcoming publication of the EASA European Aviation Environmental Report. As a result of the meeting, proposals for two working papers and two information papers were consolidated and endorsed by EAEG (Expanded) on 1 April following a written procedure, with a view to their submission to the upcoming meetings of the ECAC Coordinating Committee and ECAC Directors General.
