IATA flags ‘severe design flaw’ in global climate frameworks, calls for ICAO–UNFCCC alignment
IATA criticizes a "severe design flaw" in UN climate and aviation frameworks, where ICAO's CORSIA scheme places sole decarbonization obligations on airlines. Despite states agreeing to CORSIA, they seemingly forget this at UNFCCC COP processes, creating an imbalanced system where airlines must buy carbon credits but states have no obligation to supply them.
