The ICAO Global Coalition for Sustainable Aviation is a forum of stakeholders which aims at facilitating the development of new ideas and accelerate the implementation of innovative solutions that will further reduce greenhouse gas emissions at source, on the ground or in the sky.
ICAO promotes sustainable international aviation with Industry, Academia & Non Governmental Organizations & has 58 coalition partners.
The ICAO Global Coalition for Sustainable Aviation includes stakeholders working on innovations and breakthroughs on aviation:
- Technology: provides a variety of information on initiatives related to technologies and innovation aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of aviation, including details of past and ongoing initiatives (127 initiatives listed in electric, hydrogen, aeroplane, UAM/AAM, Engine & Hybrid)
- Operations and Infrastructure: provides a variety of information on initiatives related to operational measures aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of aviation, including details of past and ongoing initiatives (174 initiatives listed globally around infrastructure, ground & air operations)
- Sustainable Aviation Fuels: working to facilitate SAF development and deployment through four main streams. (1) Globally-accepted environmental Standards for SAF, (2) SAF goals, policies, and measures, (3) Capacity Building and Assistance to ICAO Member States (4) Outreach of information and best practices
- Aviation Net Zero: tracking of Net Zero commitments for aero companies
- CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation): global market-based measure for any sector and represents a cooperative approach that moves away from a “patchwork” of national or regional regulatory initiatives
Each of the three focus area of the coalition firstly aims to raise awareness of the continuing progress made towards in-sector CO2 emissions reduction from international aviation, building on existing leaderships and champions, as well as strengthen existing partnerships and innovations.
