CISDL Publishes Legal Analysis on the Inclusion of Civil Aviation in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme
In a ?business as usual? scenario, greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector will quadruple by 2050. In this context, the EU ETS expansion to civil aviation aims to include in the EU ETS, with some exceptions, all flights to, from, and within the EU. This expansion has given rise to strong opposition by the airline industry, as well as by several non-EU States.
This legal analysis identifies legal issues raised by the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from aviation activities in the EU ETS. A recent ruling by the European Court of Justice upholding the validity of the measures adopted by the EU has added to the ongoing discussion.
Beginning with an overview and comment on the ruling of the European Court of Justice, this legal analysis addresses the interactions and tensions between international law on aviation and international law on climate change, including the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in regulating greenhouse gas emissions from aviation. It also summarizes the position of China in opposing the European measures, preferring a global policy solution to the regulation of aircraft emissions.
