Duties and Responsibilities

THE ORGANIZATIONAL SETTING The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the United Nations (UN) designated organization in charge of ensuring continuous leadership on environmental issues relating to international civil aviation, including the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In this regard, ICAO provides capacity-building assistance to its Member States to help them develop States Action Plans and implement measures to mitigate CO2 emissions from international aviation. Coherent with its No Country Left Behind initiative, ICAO launched in 2013 the first ICAO Assistance Project with European Union (EU) Funding, successfully supporting 14 States in Africa and the Caribbean during its first phase and five States from the Eastern and Southern African Region, and five from the Western and Central African Region on its second phase. Seven feasibility studies were conducted in certain selected States. Information on this project and its final results, can be found here. Building on this successful partnership with the EU, ICAO initiated in 2023 a new Assistance Project with EU funding: Capacity building for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) eligible under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The project supports the ICAO ACT-SAF global initiative launched in 2022, aiming to provide opportunities for States to develop their full potential in SAF development and deployment. This new Assistance Project has a strong geographic focus on India and the African continent where the action shall be carried out. Additional or substituting countries shall be defined with the agreement of all parties, duly justified, and respecting the strong geographical focus mentioned above. The provision of capacity-building will be made in the form of feasibility studies on the development of SAF for Ten States expecting to empower the governments of these States to take steps towards the production of SAF in their territory to contribute to the mitigation of CO2 emissions from international civil aviation and achieve the objectives of the ICAO Global Framework for SAF, LCAF and other Aviation Cleaner Energies agreed in 2023. These studies may vary on size complexity and scope depending on specific circumstances of the State in the moment of launching the project and on the analysis of whether previous work was undertaken, so the definition of the Study will avoid any duplications a be adapted to such context.
