Aviation emissions deal must be enforceable
A deal to cap carbon emissions from global aviation at 2020 levels must be enforceable and set long-term goals in line with the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change, a coalition of environmental groups said. Aviation was excluded from the landmark climate accord in Paris in December, but carbon emissions from the sector could triple by 2050 if left unchecked, the International Coalition for Sustainable Aviation warned. In Paris, countries agreed to limit the rise in global temperatures to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. "Now, countries need to fulfil their Paris promises by ensuring that the aviation industry does its fair share," Brad Schallert from the World Wildlife Fund said. The ICAO has until October to complete a deal that would cap and cut the carbon pollution of all international flights. <br/>
