2017 - ICAO Seminar on the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)

The decision to organize this seminar stems from Assembly Resolution A39-3 (Consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policies and practices related to environmental protection – Global Market-based Measure (MBM) Scheme), by which the ICAO Assembly decided that ICAO and Member States take all necessary actions in providing capacity building and assistance for implementation of CORSIA.

The objective of this seminar is to share information on the design elements of CORSIA and implementation aspects, as well as on the outcome and lessons learned from a series of regional seminars on this subject being held from 27 March to 20 April 2017. The seminar will also serve as an opportunity for States that could not participate in the regional seminars to share their current readiness to implement CORSIA and conduct an assessment of related assistance needs.
