In March 2015, ICAO formed a partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to contribute to global agenda of addressing climate change by signing an agreement to implement a project. This project, titled the "Transforming the global aviation sector: emissions reductions from international aviation" assistance project, financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), supported developing States and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions from international aviation.
