IMPORTANT: Please register directly on the course website: http://unccelearn.org/
This e-tutorial aims to build an understanding of the importance of States’ Action Plans to address CO2 emissions from the international aviation sector. By establishing close cooperation among all stakeholders, it will help facilitate the selection, adoption and implementation of the most appropriate measures to reduce the CO2 emissions.
The tutorial has been developed by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in collaboration with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Action Plans will support the improvement of efficiency and thereby contribute to the global environmental aspirational goals established by the ICAO Assembly.
At the end of the tutorial, a participant is able to:
- Define the activities related to the development of a State Action Plan
- Explain why it is important to develop a State Action Plan
- Describe the main information which should be included in a State Action Plan
After completing this e-tutorial, participants will be able to:
- Define climate information and services.
- Identify the uses of climate information and services in development planning and policy.
- Discuss the role of legislation in strengthening climate information and services.
- Provide examples of instruments available to governments for mainstreaming climate information and services.
