Abstract
This article examines the implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) since its 40th Assembly, in light of recent legal, political, and financial developments. It argues that CORSIA’s current mechanism and pace of implementation are insufficient to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Drawing on the 2025 International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion, the outcomes of the 13th cycle of the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) and the policy development challenges throughout the last two ICAO Assemblies, the paper identifies policy and legal transformations necessary to align CORSIA with States’ evolving climate obligations.
