A group of 44 countries in Europe committed today to participation in a global carbon market for airlines starting in 2021.
The European Union, its 28 member states and 16 other nations adopted a political declaration on emissions in Bratislava on Friday ahead of a United Nations’ aviation body meeting next month. The International Civil Aviation Organization, whose general assembly is scheduled for Sept. 27 to Oct. 7 in Montreal, plans to agree on how airlines are charged for carbon emissions after 2020.
