EU Report Suggests Global Airline Emissions Plan Ineffective

A European Union report found that an aviation industry agreement to tackle global carbon-dioxide emissions may not have a materially positive impact on the environment.

The findings were made in September by the Directorate-General for Climate Action and published by non-profit Transport & Environment, which obtained the report. It said the Corsia system is less effective than existing EU regulation and has a number of features that are weaker than required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, the report said.
