Flickr\/ dsleeter_2000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As bleary-eyed negotiators at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) in Katowice, Poland, struggle through late nights of haggling over rules for implementing the 2015 Paris Agreement, one challenge they face is how to energize a global competitive market for cutting climate pollution, while ensuring the integrity of that market.<\/p>\n<p>Technical talks in the far recesses of the giant conference center are focused on two key issues: <strong>carbon credit quality<\/strong>, and <strong>accurate book-keeping<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On <strong>carbon credit quality<\/strong>: Investigations found that the so-called \u201cClean Development Mechanism\u201d (CDM) of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol issued hundreds of millions of putative carbon credits that didn\u2019t cut emissions beyond <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/clima\/sites\/clima\/files\/ets\/docs\/clean_dev_mechanism_en.pdf\">what would have happened anyway<\/a>, or came from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/brazil_cdm_report.pdf\">projects rife with corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A few CDM projects have helped cut emissions and boost sustainable development in local communities. But it seems the vast majority have little or no environmental value.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/clima\/policies\/ets\/credits_en\">more<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbr.co.nz\/article\/nz-ets-restrict-kyoto-protocol-units-2015-bd-149726\">more<\/a> countries are banning the use of these credits to meet climate targets.<\/p>\n<p>On <strong>accurate book-keeping<\/strong>: If a carbon reduction project sells credits from one country to another, the originating country must subtract that credit from its store of carbon reductions. That book-keeping entry is important. Without it, the project\u2019s reductions could be counted twice &#8211; once by the buying country to offset an increase in its emissions, and again by the selling country when reporting to the Paris Agreement how well it\u2019s done in cutting climate pollution.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of double counting would cheat the atmosphere. It would undermine the integrity of carbon markets. That\u2019s why hundreds of companies from all over the world, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/policy\/environment\/Documents\/paper-doublecounting.pdf\">airlines<\/a>, issued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieta.org\/resources\/COP24\/Declaration_to_promote_sound_carbon_accounting_final.pdf\">declarations<\/a> during the first week of the climate talks, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenaironline.com\/news.php?viewStory=2546\">warning countries<\/a> to make sure they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieta.org\/page-18192\/6946701\">adopt rules<\/a> that are super-clear on the book-keeping issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does aviation come into the picture?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Katowice, a few governments that have accumulated huge overhangs of putative carbon credits are quietly pressing the COP for loopholes that would let them dump dubious, double-counted pollution credits on unsuspecting buyers \u2013 like <strong>airlines<\/strong>. Why airlines?<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the UN\u2019s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets environmental and safety standards for flights between countries, adopted a resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icao.int\/environmental-protection\/Documents\/Resolution_A39_3.pdf\">capping the carbon emissions from international flights at 2020 levels<\/a>. That\u2019s important. For many people, aviation is the largest part of their carbon footprint. And with more people flying, aviation\u2019s emissions are forecasted to skyrocket. Without limits, aviation\u2019s carbon pollution could make it impossible to achieve Paris climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>The ICAO program takes a first step. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icao.int\/environmental-protection\/CORSIA\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation<\/a> (CORSIA) would let airlines meet the pollution cap using their own reductions or reductions earned elsewhere. Aviation doesn\u2019t have a lot of near-term options for cutting emissions, so putting a cap on aviation carbon today and letting airlines generate their own reductions or buy from others can provide a powerful stimulus for aviation to get on a flight path to deep decarbonization.<\/p>\n<p>To date, governments whose airlines represent about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/icaos-market-based-measure\">three quarters of the emissions<\/a> that could be covered by CORSIA have signaled their intent to join.<\/p>\n<p>But at Katowice, a tiny group of countries wants to dump their huge CDM credit backlog onto unsuspecting airlines. This group argues that the COP doesn\u2019t have the legal right to set the carbon credit quality and book-keeping rules for the carbon credits that flow into CORSIA \u2013 only ICAO can.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s hogwash. The climate agreements give the COP responsibility to protect the global climate \u2013 no exceptions. While ICAO struggles to adopt a dozen or so CORSIA emissions<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2018\/12\/ICAO-CORSIA-State-Letter-18-78-AX16-Vol-IV-Adoption-of-First-Edition.pdf\"> unit eligibility criteria<\/a>, it\u2019s the COP that has the legal obligation to determine the book-keeping rules. It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/2018\/12\/CORSIA_UNFCCC_CMA_Memorandum-1.pdf\">up to the COP<\/a> to make sure that CORSIA doesn\u2019t become a climate shell game.<\/p>\n<p>The tiny group also argues that even if the COP can set the rules, its bookkeeping should only apply to credits originating in sectors covered by Paris countries\u2019 nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Credits originating outside those sectors, the group reasons, can be treated differently, because countries didn\u2019t pledge to make those reductions in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>But as we have analyzed for the larger Paris Agreement, giving special treatment to \u201coutside of NDC\u201d reductions could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/NDC_Coverage_One%20Pager_Nov_2018.pdf\">nullify the effect of all the NDCs in the world<\/a>. UNFCCC and Paris Parties have a legal obligation to assess how well all mitigation efforts in the world are doing in meeting the climate protection objectives of those agreements. That obligation doesn\u2019t depend on whether reductions happen to come from a sector covered by an NDC. But giving special treatment to emissions reductions from sectors outside NDCs will create an incentive for countries to keep those sectors outside of the NDCs \u2013 undermining the goal, expressed in Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, that countries increase ambition over time including by moving toward economy-wide targets. What&#8217;s more, since industrialized countries under Paris have economy-wide NDCs, such a rule could even resurrect bifurcation by opening a loophole that only developing countries could take.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dumping bogus credits into CORSIA, and giving special treatment to emissions reductions that originate from outside NDCs and are used in CORSIA, would punch a big hole in the climate benefit of the aviation agreement \u2013 and a big hole in the climate credibility of ICAO and the airlines. It would undercut the Paris Parties\u2019 efforts to limit the global temperature increase to well below 2 degrees. If, as various analyses indicate, only about 15% of the credits issued under the CDM represent real reductions, letting them into CORSIA would cut CORSIA\u2019s effective participation from about 78% global coverage, down to about 17%. That would give passengers whose tickets in the future might include an embedded CORSIA carbon fee a solid basis to demand their money back. And to demand that their airlines stop cheating on the goals of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letting Clean Development Mechanism credits into the aviation climate agreement could cut CORSIA\u2019s effective participation from about three quarters down to less than 20 percent, negating its climate impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4249,71676,20,99544,46599],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-19173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aviation","category-carbon-markets","category-news","category-paris-agreement","category-united-nations"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Could aviation loopholes swallow climate progress?
