Aviation is a top-ten emitter of global warming pollution. And its pollution is forecast to triple by 2050.
Nations agreed in Paris in December 2015 to cut carbon pollution within their borders and hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit that increase to 1.5 °C. But the Paris Agreement didn’t decide what to do about the pollution spewed out of airplanes flying between different countries. Separately, the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), based in Montreal, has spent 19 years wrangling over who should be responsible for cutting this airplane pollution. ICAO now has a deadline of 7 October 2016 to finalize a program to cap and cut the carbon pollution of all international flights.
