The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has praised the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for achieving the first global governmental agreement aimed at stabilising carbon emissions. 

The breakthrough came at the 37th ICAO Assembly in Montreal.

The ICAO resolution calls for: Improving fuel efficiency by two per cent annually to 2050; striving for a medium-term aspirational goal of capping aviation's carbon emissions from 2020 and a global CO2 standard for aircraft engines with a target date of 2013.

The ICAO resolution also seeks a global framework on market-based (economic) measures by the 38th Assembly (2013).
