UK sets out next steps to help decarbonise aviation sector

The UK government launched a consultation on implementing the UN’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) to reduce the climate impacts of flying. The scheme, overseen by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), requires airlines to offset CO2 emissions on international routes through initiatives like renewable energy and reforestation. The UK is working to align CORSIA with its emissions trading scheme to avoid double regulation and price increases for passengers.
