The Resolution adopted by the Assembly on climate change makes ICAO the
first United Nations Agency to lead a sector in the establishment of a globally
harmonized agreement for addressing its CO2 emissions. The resolution was
adopted with some States expressing reservations and calling upon the ICAO
Council to continue its work on specific aspects of the agreement. This remarkable
accomplishment came only 2 months before negotiations are again undertaken by
these very same States at the 16th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting scheduled for
December in Mexico.
Against this backdrop, this book addresses these four issues and the various
complex areas that they present.
