answer text <p>The Government believes that international aviation emissions, given their global nature, are best tackled at the global level. The Department for Transport leads on this issue, working closely with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.</p><p>In October the UK and the 190 other States agreed to introduce a global measure to address CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from international aviation in the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Under the deal, which is a major step to ensure international aviation contributes to the Paris Agreement’s wider climate objective of keeping the global temperature rise below 2°C, airlines will offset their emissions with reductions from other sectors and activities, with the aim of delivering carbon-neutral growth of international aviation from 2020. The UK’s focus will now be on ensuring the measure is implemented successfully across the world.</p> more like this
