Abstract

The need to reduce the increasing rate of aviation emission and its catastrophic consequences on human life and the environment puts global pressure on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to adopt Emission trading as an option for reduction of aviation emission, but the inaction of ICAO on the implementation of Emission Trading for effective reduction of international civil aviation emission ushered in the EU Emission Trading System as one of the regional emission trading bodies with more commitment to effective reduction of international aviation emission. However, the EU is found to be a regional body with inherent limitations of adequate geographical coverage, while its overall contribution to global reduction of aviation emission is still found to be poor. This paper proposes Global Emission Trading as a more dependable and effective option for global reduction of aviation emission, instead of regional EU Emission Trading System. Also, Global Emission Trading will achieve involvement of all airlines in the world in the process of reduction of aviation emission. The paper adopts a doctrinal research methodology, and it is found that Global Emission Trading will bring about global uniform treatment, global coverage and better performance on reduction of aviation emission if implemented by ICAO.
