AFCAC

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE

Environmental Protection

At AFCAC, our position on international aviation in the face of climate change is as follows:

1. We support taking urgent action on climate change while promoting sustainable development of air transport in Africa.

2. We support the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme (CORSIA) as the market-based measure for international aviation and maintain that CO2 emissions from international aviation should be accounted for only once.

3. We reaffirm our role to foster implementation of ICAO’s Standards and Recommended Practices on issues related to the environment.

2. States’ Action Plans for CO2 reduction activities

Development of States’ Action Plans for CO2 reduction activities by African States

ICAO has outlined guidelines for all States to develop and submit States’ Action Plans for action on carbon emissions mitigation measures to ICAO.

We support Member States to develop and submit their states’ action plans for carbon reduction measures.

4. CORSIA

ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme of International Aviation (CORSIA) is a Global Market-Based Measures Program that offers a harmonised approach to the reduction of carbon emissions caused by the aviation industry. CORSIA serves as an offsetting scheme that complements the carbon reduction efforts of technological advancements, operational improvements, and the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs).
