A website to endorse alternative fuels
Montreal, Canada - ICAO's global initiative to work on reducing air transport's environmental impact
(WAPA) - A global framework on the development and implementation of alternative fuels for aviation worldwide was adopted by a conference convened by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as part of aviation´s ongoing efforts to systematically reduce the impact of aviation emissions on the environment.
The Global Framework on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (GFAAF) is a dynamic web-based document that will serve as a global platform for the sharing of information, best practices and future initiatives by ICAO member states and the air transport industry. It will be located on the ICAO website and updated continually.
This initiative is part of a declaration and related recommendations adopted by the conference, to be brought to the climate change talks scheduled in Copenhagen next month. The Declaration will subsequently be presented to the Organization’s triennial Assembly in the fall of 2010. (Avionews)
