The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council has adopted emission units for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

The ICAO Deputy Director of Environment, Jane Hupe, commented that the Council’s approval of eligible emissions units was the last element needed to implement CORSIA.
