191 countries will vote on the future of aviation pollution on 27 September to 7 October at an ICAO Assembly meeting in Montreal. The latest text of the proposed aviation agreement was publicly released approximately one month ahead of the meeting. ICSA, the only civil society body officially accredited to observe the aviation proceedings, has strong reservations about a global market-based measure (GMBM) that would rely on a system of voluntary, unguaranteed participation with weak environmental safeguards.
