1. States’ Action Plans and Assistance to States
ICAO Secretariat

2. Aviation in context: contributions across Social, Economic and Environmental pillars of Sustainable Development
Global Economy
Fast, reliable, and safe mode of transport
No comparative alternatives for long haul passenger transport

3. States’ Action Plans and Assistance to States
Resolution A37-19
Invites States that choose to submit their action plans to submit them to ICAO as soon as possible, preferably by the end of June 2012
Requests ICAO to provide guidance and other technical assistance for the preparation of States’ action plans, in order for States to conduct their necessary studies and to voluntarily submit their action plans to ICAO
Requests ICAO to study, identify and develop processes and mechanisms to facilitate the provision of technical and financial assistance
Requests ICAO to facilitate access to existing and new financial resources, technology transfer and capacity building
Requests that ICAO continue to cooperate with other UN Organizations

4. Benefits of Action Plans
For States
Opportunity to identify and communicate measures to address CO2 emissions from international aviation, as well as identify any assistance needed to implement the measures
For ICAO
Assess the global progress towards the achievement of aspirational goals and address States’ specific assistance needs.
Communication Tool between ICAO and
its Member States
ICAO - Concrete action to address CO2 emissions

19. Summary of Achievements
Very positive – coverage (78.96%) above expectations
(91 States trained, 155 States contacted, 63 States’ Action Plans submitted, 114 States’ Focal Points identified)
Substantial support from States
Engagement by States in developing Action Plans in a short time
Many synergies for action generated - Involvement of different actors
Improvement of the knowledge and experience acquired
However, improvements are needed

20. Focus on Improvements Revised Action Plan to improve:
Data – robust enough to contribute to ICAO report on global international aviation CO2 emissions reduction
Use of tools developed by ICAO
Mitigation measures – new submissions should have more information on the selected measures / environmental benefits of implementation of measures
Assistance needs – new submissions should identify support needed

21. Next Steps Regional workshops worldwide
Encourage States to submit and update their action plan by June 2015
Update of 9888, APER website, and aviation environmental tools
Regional workshops worldwide
Regional workshops
worldwide
End of June 2015 –submission of new and updated action plans
