China Aviation Association: Actively and steadily promote aviation decarburization work to help China civil aviation green and high -quality development

According to the China Aviation Transport Association September 27, the China Aviation Transport Association jointly member aviation transportation enterprises issued a statement to the society on the field of aviation transportation environmental protection (referred to as the "Statement"), indicating that further promoting the industry's green and high quality Develop and take positive measures and positions on the field of aviation transportation environmental protection.

The "Statement" also stated that "aviation emission governance should avoid discrimination against developing countries in developing countries." At the same time, it is believed that the international implementation mechanism and the proposal of some countries are inconsistent with the principles of global climate governance, and it is inconsistent with the principles of equal development of international aviation rights in various countries.

According to the statement, as the growth and increase of international aviation emissions and increased international aviation emissions in developing countries, in accordance with the current international aviation carbon offset and emission reduction mechanism (CORSIA) implementation path and standard, international aviation emissions per ton of carbon emissions in developing countries must be borne by Decomplication of responsibilities and offset expenditures are significantly more developed than developed countries with low growth rates, resulting in more responsibility and expenditure for developing countries, forming a discriminatory market for discriminatory discrimination in developing countries in developing countries.

The "Statement" emphasizes that we must adhere to and implement the new national development concept, and guide the "double carbon" goals as a guide to help China civil aviation green and high -quality development; recognize the importance, urgency and arduousness of the green development of civil aviation. Global passengers, including Chinese people, provide green, low -carbon and sustainable civil aviation transportation services; adherence to aviation emission governance should avoid discrimination against developing countries in developing countries; It does not match the principles of equal development of international aviation rights with other countries; in favor of the Chinese government's position and demand in international aviation emission reduction consultations.

The China Aviation Transport Association is a national social organization with civil airlines as its main body. There are 47 member aviation transportation companies, accounting for 97%of the total number of Chinese aviation transportation, accounting for 95%of the total carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Statement on taking positive measures in the field of aviation transportation environmental protection

China Aviation Transportation Association has 47 aviation transportation companies, accounting for 97%of the total turnover of China ’s national aviation transportation, and 95%of the total carbon dioxide emissions across the country. During the "Thirteenth Five -Year Plan" period, China Civil Aviation adopted a positive and solid emission reduction operation and achieved significant results. The fuel consumption and carbon emissions of aviation transportation units continued to decline, and they were at the highest level of history. The structure of the transportation fleet has continued to optimize and strongly supports the improvement of fuel efficiency. In order to further promote the high -quality development of the industry and take positive measures on the field of aviation transportation environmental protection, the China Aviation Transportation Association jointly reached a consensus on a member aviation transportation enterprise, and the statement was as follows:

1. We emphasize that we must adhere to and implement new national development concepts, and resolutely implement important deployments of national green ecological civilization construction. With the guidance of the national "carbon dioxide emissions strive to reach its peak by 2030, strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060," to fully consider the actual situation and development stage of Chinese civil aviation, and resolutely implement the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" civil aviation development Planning requires strict implementation of relevant policies and regulations, actively and steadily promote aviation decarburization work, and help China ’s civil aviation green and high -quality development.

2. We recognize the importance, urgency and arduousness of the green development of the civil aviation industry, and are willing to increase investment and actively act. On the premise of ensuring the safety bottom line, we adhere to innovation -driven, improve the level of professionalism, and strengthen the application of clean energy. Efforts to provide green, low -carbon and sustainable civil aviation transportation services for global passengers, including Chinese people.

3. We adhere to the historical emissions of developed countries is the main cause of climate change today. Aviation emissions should avoid discrimination against developing countries in developing countries. Developed countries should be earlier than developing countries to complete aviation decarburized and provide sufficient funding, technical and capable construction assistance to developing countries.

4. We insist that international aviation 2020 carbon neutral growth (CNG2020), international aviation carbon offset and emission reduction mechanism (CORSIA), and the 2050 net zero carbon long -term ideal goal proposed by some countries is obviously not conducive to developing countries The problem of discriminatory competition is inconsistent with the principles of global climate governance, and it is inconsistent with the principles of equal development of international aviation rights in various countries.

5. We agree with the Chinese government's position and demand in international aviation emission reduction consultations. Adhering to the concept of the community of human destiny, adhering to the international aviation and the response to climate change, we should follow the Framework Convention on the United Nations Climate Change Framework and its Paris Agreement. To do what you can do.

Statement on Positive Measures in the Field of

Air Transport Environmental Protection

The China Air Transport Association (CATA) represents 47 member airlines, accounting for 97% of China's civil air transport RTK (revenue tonne kilometres) and 95% of the country's total aviation CO2 emissions. During China's 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016- 2020), China's civil aviation had taken active and tangible actions to reduce emissions and had achieved remarkable results. Fuel consumption and carbon emissions per unit of RTK (revenue tonne kilometres) had decreased continuously, which had been the best level in history and at a leading position among major aviation countries. To promote green and high-quality development of the industry and take positive measures in air transport environmental protection, CATA, together with its member airlines, have reached consensus on the following statement:1. We uphold China's new Development Philosophy and ResolUtely Implement the Construction of An ECOLOGical Civilisation. Driven by China's Pledge of "Striving to Carbon Dioxide ( CO2) emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060” and fully considering the actual situation and development stage of China's civil aviation, we will strictly implement the requirements of the 14th Five-Year Plan for Civil Aviation Development, scrupulously abide by relevant policies and Regulations and put forward the decarbonisation of aviation steadily and projectively, so as to make constribution to green and high-Quality Development of China's CivIL Aviation.

2. We recognise the importance, urgency and enormity of green development in the civil aviation industry. On the premise of ensuring aviation safety, we are willing to exert greater efforts and take proactive actions in the field of air transport environmental protection, drive innovation, enhance expertise, promote the application of clean energy, while striving to provide green, low-carbon and sustainable civil air transport services to passengers worldwide.3. We insist that the historical accumulative GHG emissions of developed countries are major contributor to the current climate change and that aviation emissions governance should avoid discrimination against the rights of developing countries to further develop their international aviation. Developed countries should take the lead in completing aviation decarbonisation ahead of developing countries and provide them with adequate support in financial resources, technology transfer and capacity- Building.

4. We insist that discriminations and market distortions against developing countries would arise from the Carbon Neutral Growth for International Aviation 2020 (CNG2020), the current implementation programmes of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Mechanism for International Aviation (CORSIA) and the long-term aspirational goals of net-zero carbon emission by 2050 proposed by some countries, which are inconsistent with the principles of global climate governance as well as the principle of fair opportunities to develop international aviation among all countries.

5. We agree with the positions and claims of Chinese government in the international aviation emissions reduction negotiations. We uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and insist that international aviation and climate change should be addressed under the principles of equity , common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, with each country making contribution to the best of its ability for win-win results.来源：中国航空运输协会
