The High Level Meeting on Aviation and Climate Change, convened by the International Civil Aviation Organization from 7 to 9 October 2009 once again brought to bear the vexed issue of ICAO’s leadership in the field, only to be re-endorsed by the 56 States which attended the Meeting, that ICAO was indeed the leader and that ICAO should provide guidance on various issues pertaining to the subject. The meeting went on to acknowledge the principles and provisions on common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, and the fact that developed countries will be taking the lead under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. It also acknowledged the principles of non-discrimination and equal and fair opportunities to develop international aviation set forth in the Chicago Convention and re-emphasized the vital role which international aviation plays in global economic and social development and the need to ensure that international aviation continues to develop in a sustainable manner.

At the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) and the Fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP5) which were convened in Copenhagen on 8 December 2009, leaders from the U.S., India, Brazil, South Africa and China came to an agreement to combat global warming. The deal, which was only between five countries, contained no specifics on emissions cuts, but it did commit the countries to look to keep global warming at 2 °C or less and to promise $30 billion in funding to battle climate change by 2012. It also created a framework for international transparency on climate actions for developed and developing nations alike.
