South Pole supports airlines and other organisations in the aviation industry to comply with CORSIA.
CORSIA (The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is the United Nations' scheme to limit CO2 emissions growth in the international aviation sector and mandates carbon-neutral growth from 2020 onwards. Airlines must offset any CO2 emissions growth above 85% of 2019 levels by purchasing offsets from accredited environmental projects.
The aviation sector faces mounting pressure to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change impacts. CORSIA is a critical framework to address these challenges. We can help you navigate the era of CORSIA compliance and beyond. Our comprehensive suite of solutions includes:
Workshops to empower your company with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective understanding of CORSIA compliance requirements.
Consulting services on CORSIA procurement strategies to identify the most cost-effective carbon projects, while ensuring CORSIA Phase I compliance.
Ensure alignment with CORSIA Phase I and regulatory requirements.
Identifying the best sourcing pathways and structuring investments in climate projects to meet your compliance needs.
The Paris Agreement and CORSIA are both key frameworks for addressing climate change. The Paris Agreement covers all sectors and involves commitments from countries to reduce their overall emissions through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), including domestic aviation. Meanwhile, ICAO through CORSIA covers the international aviation sector.
Article 6 requires that when emissions reductions are transferred internationally, a corresponding adjustment must be applied - meaning host countries will add these emissions back into its national emission balance, for the airlines to be able to count the emission reduction towards its CORSIA compliance instead.
South Pole has extensive experience in CORSIA, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and developing eligible emission reduction projects.
