EU to Defend Limited Carbon Market for Airlines’ Emissions
This article is for subscribers only.
The European Union signaled it will defend its right to continue a limited carbon market for airlines until 2020 under a deal being discussed at a meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The EU’s goal of keeping its partial curbs drew objections from Ajit Singh, India’s aviation minister, who said regional emission rules shouldn’t be imposed unilaterally. Negotiators from more than 190 states are at the United Nations agency’s general assembly in Montreal in talks through Oct. 4 to iron out differences for a global market to cut airline emissions.
