Abstract

Zusammenfassung (deutsch):

Die Klimaerwärmung schreitet unaufhörlich voran, so dass eine Regulierung der Treibhausgasemissionen großer Industriezweige unerlässlich ist. Einer der größten Verursacher von CO2-Emissionen ist der Transportsektor. Für den Flugsektor hat die ICAO daher eine globale marktbasierte Maßnahme, namens CORSIA beschlossen. Dabei handelt es sich um einen Offsetting-Mechanismus, mit dem die Emissionen des Flugsektors mit Hilfe von Zertifikaten aus umweltfreundlichen Projekten ausgeglichen werden sollen. Ziel CORSIAs ist es, ein kohlenstoffneutrales Wachstum ab 2020 zu gewährleisten und damit zu einer Emissionsreduktion beizutragen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, den Beschluss und die Effektivität von ICAOs marktbasierter Maßnahme zu analysieren. Die Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass die derzeitige Ausgestaltung CORSIAs vermutlich nicht ausreichend ist, um eine Vereinbarkeit mit dem 1,5 Grad Ziel des Pariser Abkommens zu gewährleisten. Ursache hierfür sind im Wesentlichen die zu schwachen Regelungen des Offsetting-Systems. Dazu zählen die einseitige Betrachtung von ausschließlich CO2-Emissionen, die zahlreichen Ausnahmen von Nationen sowie der Zeithorizont CORSIAs, da die Maßnahme erst 2021 mit einer freiwilligen Phase beginnt.

Abstract (english):

The climate change is progressing incessantly. Hence, the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from large industrial sectors is indispensable. One of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions is the transport sector. For aviation ICAO therefore adopted a global market-based measure called CORSIA. This offsetting mechanism will be used to offset emissions from the aviation sector with the help of certificates from environmental projects. The aim of CORSIA is to ensure carbon-neutral growth from 2020 onwards and thus contribute to a reduction in emissions. The aim of this work was to analyze the decision and effectiveness of ICAO’s market-based measure. The investigations have shown that the current design of CORSIA is probably not sufficient to ensure compatibility with the 1.5 degree objective of the Paris Convention. This is mainly because of the weak regulation of the offsetting system. These include the one-sided view of solely carbon dioxide emissions, the numerous exemptions of nations and the time horizon of CORSIA, since the measure begins with a voluntary phase in 2021.
