The Reduction of CO2 emissions plan has been taken place on the table around the world for many years. In aviation, ICAO and other related organizations & authorities have initiated and discussed for creating the appropriating ways to reduce carbon emissions.
On this Aviation professional
website every one "who are concerned" can get the concept of ICAO
CORSIA in a simple & easy way.
What Is ICAO CORSIA?
(Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for
International Aviation)
In 2016, the International CivilAviation Organization (ICAO) adopted ICAO CORSIA, a global carbon offsetting scheme to address CO2 emissions from international aviation. The agreement at ICAO demonstrates that the aviation industry is determined to live up to its climate change commitments and play its part in meeting international goals for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. ICAO CORSIA is one part of the aviation sector’s climate action.
How ICAO CORSIA Works?
All States "participating in
ICAO CORSIA" with aircraft operators undertaking international flights are
requested to compile and transmit aggregated emissions information of their
operators to ICAO, as part of the activities included in the States’
implementation of a monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system.
How will ICAO CORSIA be Implemented?
The implementation will be in
phases:
• Pilot phase (from 2021 through 2023)
• First phase (from 2024 through 2026):
First phase applies from 2024
through 2026 to States that voluntarily participate in the pilot phase, as well
as any other States that volunteer to participate in this phase.
• Second phase (from 2027 through 2035):
It applies from 2027 through 2035
to all States that have an individual share of international aviation
activities in Revenue Tonne-Kilometres (RTKs) in year 2018 above 0.5 per cent
of total RTKs or whose cumulative share in the list of States from the highest
to the lowest amount of RTKs reaches 90 per cent of total RTKs, except Least
Developed Countries (LDCs), Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and
Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) unless they volunteer to participate in
this phase.
Which Airlines are Concerned by ICAO CORSIA?
For the baseline to be correct,
all airlines are required to start monitoring and reporting their emissions on
all their flights, including airlines based in non-participating states.
How Many States Will Participate in ICAO CORSIA, and Which are They?
ICAO has decided to use a phased
implementation for the ICAO CORSIA to accommodate the special circumstances and
respective capabilities of States.

Conclusion
ICAO CORSIA, a global carbon offsetting scheme to address CO2 emissions from international aviation. Climate change is a global problem, which requires global efforts. The more States join the ICAO CORSIA, the more emissions are covered by the scheme (higher environmental integrity is achieved).
