879

In a world where aviation plays a vital role in connecting people and economies, ensuring the sustainability of the skies has become one of the industry’s most pressing imperatives. In this episode of our ICAO Explained video series, we explain how we are working with the international aviation community to reduce our environmental footprint through innovation, cooperation, and shared commitment.

Our “Environmental Protection in Aviation,” episode highlights how we support our 193 Member States in confronting the environmental challenges linked to aircraft noise, local air quality, and climate change. From pioneering global policies to supporting emerging solutions like sustainable aviation fuels and clean energy transitions, ICAO provides a multilateral platform for action—and for progress.

This episode also introduces viewers to some of the key tools driving aviation’s sustainability efforts, including ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), the Long-Term Global Aspirational Goal (LTAG), and State Action Plans. It shows how ICAO helps ensure that all countries, regardless of capacity, can take part in the transition toward greener skies.

These are short videos with big explanations. We are unpacking how ICAO helps countries strengthen their aviation systems, respond to global challenges, and ensure that air travel continues to serve as a catalyst for sustainable development. For more than eight decades, ICAO has worked side by side with Member States to foster a safer, more resilient, and more environmentally responsible aviation sector.

Watch this latest episode of ICAO Explained and discover how international cooperation is shaping the future of sustainable aviation—and what’s being done today to protect the skies for generations to come.
