States’ Action Plan

Assembly Resolution A38-18:
• Para. 11. Further encourages States to submit their voluntary action
plans outlining their respective policies and actions, and annual
reporting on international aviation CO2 emissions to ICAO;

• Para 12. Invites those States that choose to prepare or update their
action plans to submit them to ICAO as soon as possible preferably
by the end of June 2015 and once every three years thereafter, in
order that ICAO can continue to compile the information in relation
to achieving the global aspirational goals, and the action plans
should include information on the basket of measures considered
by States, reflecting their respective national capacities and
circumstances, information on the expected environmental benefits
from the implementation of the measures chosen from the basket,
and information on any specific assistance needs;
