THE WAY FORWARD HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 2011
Commitment on climate change Geneva, 2008
The four-pillar strategy • Invest in new technology • Including sustainable aviation biofuels • Fly using more efficient operations • Build and use efficient infrastructure • Use effective economic measures
Global industry targets 2010 2020 2050 1.5% p/a fuel efficiency Working towards CNG CNG from 2020 Implementation of global sectoral approach 50% reduction in net CO2 emissions over 2005 levels • Goals are at the global level – not States or operators • Goals do not mean slowing down the growth of aviation
CNG 2020 Emissions reduction roadmap No action CO2 emissions “Frozen technology” emissions Gross emissions trajectory -50% by 2050 (schematic) 2050 2010 2005 2020 2030 2040
CNG 2020 Emissions reduction roadmap “Frozen technology” emissions Known technology, operations and infrastructure measures Carbon-neutral growth 2020 Gross emissions trajectory No action CO2 emissions Tech Ops Infra -50% by 2050 (schematic) 2050 2010 2005 2020 2030 2040

TAXES SOME POLICYMAKERS BELIEVE ARE THE ANSWER

CONVINCE POLICYMAKERS THAT A GLOBAL APPROACH IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD
Global policy developments ICAOAssembly2010 • Positives: • First ever global sectoral agreement on CO2 • Reflects aspirational industry goal of carbon-neutral growth from 2020 • Lists 15 principles for MBMs, in line with industry priorities, e.g. • Transparency and simplicity • No duplication • Minimise leakage and distortion • Appropriate access to all carbon markets
Lack of political urgency EU ETS Distraction Developed vs. developing country approaches CBDR issue Mitigation vs. adaptation Political and technical challenges • Avoid competitive distortion • Level – playing field • Reward early adopters • Accommodate fast growth markets
Moving the political agenda • Remind policy makers of the social and economic benefits of aviation • Continue to deliver industry contribution to targets • Call upon governments to deliver on their part • Work with ICAO to further their agenda • Above all, work collaboratively across industry, government and civil society
