Carbondioxide as the Most Important Adversary We Face or What is the Role of "CORSIA" Established by ICAO in this Battle

Abstract

Unfortunately, the aviation by the combusted fuel produces a lot of the pollutants released into the atmosphere. Considering climate change, the most serious problem is the carbon dioxide emissions. This amount can be reduced only by burning less fuel, but considering the predicted growth rate of aviation, the amount of CO2 will increase by three times in the next 30 years without further action. In light of this, ICAO and its Member States, with relevant organizations, would work together to strive to achieve a collective medium term global aspirational goal of keeping the global net CO2 emissions from international aviation from 2020 at the same level (so-called "carbon neutral growth from 2020"). In this paper, we deal mainly with one of the branches of these measures, the so-called Market Based Measures (MBM), namely the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme of International Aviation).
