Sustainability Criteria for CORSIA Thomas Roetger, IATA
Pedro Piris Cabezas, ICSA Committee on Aviation Environment Protection Sustainability Task Group Co-Leads
Alternative Fuels in the CORSIA Context
• Sustainable alternative fuels (SAF) contribute to CO2 emissions
reduction
• CAEP is developing recommendations for the recognition of SAF
under CORSIA
• This includes
– Determine CO2 emissions reduction of different SAF types (lifecycle
analysis)
– Sustainability criteria other than GHG emissions
General aspects
• Global nature of the ICAO CORSIA requires a globally
harmonized view of sustainability criteria
• Excellent opportunity for international aviation to define a globally
recognized framework for sustainability of alternative fuels
• Build as much as possible upon existing sustainability standards
and frameworks
– Sustainability criteria (environmental, social, economic)
– Compliance mechanism
Existing standards and frameworks
US RFS2
EU RED*
ISPO
etc. *recognizes 19 voluntary
standards for compliance
ISCC
RSB
RSPO
etc.
(...) Global frameworks
Existing sustainability standards use well-proven compliance mechanisms
A suggested approach for building upon existing standards
Standard
exceeding
ICAO level
Partially
meeting
ICAO level
Standard
tailored to
ICAO level
ICAO “umbrella standard”
”Umbrella standard” level
Incremental certification
A framework (“umbrella”) standard would allow recognizing existing (current
or future) regulatory or voluntary standards as suitable to demonstrate
sustainability under CORSIA
Way forward
• Selection of relevant environmental sustainability principles and
criteria
• Processes for recognition of sustainable alternative fuels under
CORSIA
– Requirements for compliance
– Way to incorporate existing regulatory and/or voluntary standards

Recognized SOOs will have to annually demonstrate their competence to ICAO. (...) Initial Recognition of an SOO 6.1 Assessment and recognition of SOOs will be based on the USOAP CMA methodology. Assessment criteria will be posted online.
‐ Includes a set of generic criteria applicable to each applicant ‐ Includes specific criteria dependent on the functions, level of recognition being applied for:
Phase 1: Application and pre‐assessment ‐ SOO voluntarily applies for recognition online ‐ ICAO pre‐assesses the application package to ensure the SOO is eligible for a full GASOS assessment
Phase 2: Self‐assessment and preparation of the on‐site assessment ‐ SOO will provide a self‐assessment against the applicable assessment
criteria which will be reviewed by ICAO ‐ ICAO will establish an assessment team and plan an on‐site assessment
Phase 3: On‐site assessment ‐ Methodology will follow principles of USOAP CMA ‐ Conduct the on‐site assessment, identify Level 1 (need to be corrected
before recognition can be granted) and Level 2 (recommendations) findings
Phase 4: Final phase/Recognition ‐ Corrective Action Plan will be initiated in the case of Level 1 findings ‐ Assessment team will provide a report which will include any remaining
open findings and a recommendation to issue a recognition, if appropriate
‐ If appropriate, a GASOS recognition certificate will be issued and the GASOS Directory will be updated
7. Continuous monitoring of a recognized SOO
‐ The SOO will have to provide updated information on its activities yearly ‐ ICAO may send a Mandatory Information Request to respond to feedback from States or after a change in assessment criteria ‐ SOOs can apply for updates to the scope of their recognition which will be handled using a streamlined version of the above process ‐ ICAO can revoke, suspend or limit an SOO recognition if necessary

Regional Fishery Management Organizations (Species ‐ specific)
General considerations
COFI - XXVI Session (2005) - recognized importance of independent assessments of RFMOs’ performance
UNGA stressed the importance of PRs as independent evaluations for RFMOs/As and recommended:
- transparent criteria based on international instruments
- consider best practices for RFMOs
- elements of independent evaluation
The FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1072 (2012) and
the FAO Circular No. 1108 (2015) provided a list of criteria for PRs
and also showed that:
- Panels rely primarily on official documents and interviews with
official RFMO staff, and that;
- Analysis of RFMO foundational texts are examined vis-à-vis the
international conventions and soft-law fishery instruments
Commonly recognized criteria to PRs
FAO Circular No. 1108
Conservation and management of fish stocks
Compliance with and enforcement of international obligations
Legal framework, financial affairs, organization
Cooperation with other international organizations and non-member States
Socio-economic aspects of fishing
Duties of RFMOs towards developing countries
Suggested elements and criteria to be considered when conducting PRs
Outcomes of the resumed Review Conference on the UNFSA (23-29 May 2016)
Enhancing PR consistency
Making PR of RFMOs mandatory
Adaptive, independent and regular review exercise
Ensuring the principle of accountability, transparency and participation from civil society
Time-bound implementation of recommendations
Follow-up mechanism for implementing PR recommendations
Additional remarks
The introduction of the practice of Performance Review is a milestone in the history of RFMOs (and RFABs)
Difficulties in finding criteria that can be accepted by all regions and that reflect particular circumstances
Each RFMO operates in a specific geo-political and socio- economical environment
Related factors to each regional context should be taken into consideration and reflected in the criteria applied
Strong degree of commonality in the factors affecting RFMOs performance
Outcome of the Resumed Review Conference on the UNFSA:
There is a need to adjust/include new elements and criteria so as to ensure a complete and clear picture of how the RFMOs are performing
Future of Performance Reviews
Performance review as an increasingly common practice for both RFMOs and RFABs
Common key criteria need to be identified and established
Independency and transparency must be ensured as well as inclusivity
Performance reviews should be institutionalized and regularly carried out on periodic basis.

Outcome and discussions
Key points
LDC category and criteria remain relevant in SDG era
Graduation as milestone towards achieving the SDGs
Integrity of LDC category
Strengthen application procedures and process
Emphasize building resilience for vulnerable countries
Basic structure of LDC criteria and graduation rule remain valid
Identify and validate suitable indicators for refining LDC criteria
Robust methodologies and data availability
Support for graduating countries
Currently:
47 countries are LDCs
• Angola, Bhutan, Sao Tome and Principe, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are graduating
• ECOSOC will make decision on Kiribati and Tuvalu no later than 2021
• CDP will consider Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal and Timor-Leste for graduation in 2021
Graduation implications
• Possible reductions in official development aid from bilateral donors and from multilateral institutions
• Loss of markets access preferences
• Loss of LDC-specific Special and Differential Treatment in the WTO
• Other LDC specific support (UN budget, travel benefits, etc)
One early consolidated UN graduation assessment
Includes list of possible mitigating actions for review at the CDP
UN
UNRC to organize a country-level Meeting on Graduation Support to feed into CDP
Recently graduated countries to present their experiences and needs for support, and for
development and trading partners to highlight efforts at UN Development Cooperation Forum
Graduating country
Identify type of support needed to address potential loss of LDC-specific support
Trading and development partners
OECD review consequences of graduation on access to development finance, and develop a policy
toolkit
Consultation and participation process to involve non-OECD donors in preparation of policy toolkit
Capacity development
Explore graduation support facility to operationalize the requested support by graduating
countries and to provide countries with specific capacity development/policy advice.
(...) Graduation - meeting the IPoA target and, if possible, going beyond;
Additional measures for graduating countries – ‘graduation with momentum’;
Recognizing changes in the composition of the LDC category and implications for policies and ISMs;
Aligning the PoA with SDGs – identifying policies for their implementation;
Reducing vulnerability and building resilience – the economic, social and environmental dimensions;
Addressing youth unemployment – creating decent jobs in the productive sectors;
Technological learning and upgrading – and creating innovative and competitive enterprises;
Identifying policies that promote growth and structural transformation;
“Expanding Productive Capacity for Sustainable Development”:
A Framework for Organizing the Programme of Action for LDCs for the period 2021-2030
The root cause of LDCs’ structural impediments is the limited development of their productive capacity;
Recognized by LDCs – IPoA – listed as one of eight “priority areas for action”;
The CDP carried out further studies on ‘productive capacity’ –
First, in the context of SDGs (2016), highlighting the intrinsic link between productive capacity and SDGs;
Then in 2017, assessing the link between productive capacity and progress towards graduation;
The CDP believes that “Expanding productive capacity for sustainable development” will be a useful framework for organizing the next PoA;
“Expanding Productive Capacity for Sustainable Development”:
A Framework for Organizing the Programme of Action for LDCs for the period
2021-2030 • What are the advantages:
– The next programme will focus on expanding productive capacity to achieve structural transformation and sustainable development;
– It will create ‘coherence’ between macro and sectoral policies and between policies and the goals and targets to be achieved;
– It will make it relatively easier to identify gaps in productive capacity development and tailor policies and ISMs accordingly;
– It will become easier to monitor progress in the implementation of the PoA and countries’ performance over time - because of the Productive Capacity Index (PCI) that UNCTAD has developed, covering over 50 indicators of productive capacity.
