Coronavirus and CORSIA
March 12, 2020Coronavirus/COVID-19 is a global crisis. The world’s airlines are facing real economic and structural threats. But UN climate action is not one of them. The Carbon Offsetting and Reductions Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), adopted by the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) offers airlines the necessary flexibility to meet their climate protection goal of carbon-neutral growth even in light of this global pandemic. Although COVID-19 is driving air traffic downward (and thereby, potentially making it more challenging for airlines to achieve their commitment of carbon neutral growth from 2020), there will be plenty of high quality credits available to help airlines meet their carbon limits in CORSIA’s initial years – and because CORSIA includes provisions, thanks to ICAO foresight, that give airlines flexibility to deal with the COVID-19 crisis without sacrificing climate protection.More on:
