European Aviation and Environment Working Group prepares for key 2025 events
November 2024 — Throughout November, the European Aviation and Environment Working Group (EAEG) convened for a series of meetings led by co-chairs Olivier Meynot (France) and Andrei Mungiu (European Commission).
The meetings focused on key preparations for two important events: the ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP/13) in February 2025 and the 42nd ICAO Assembly in autumn 2025, both to be held in Montreal.
The meetings included:
- EAEG/75 (online, 5 November): This session reviewed elements of the current CAEP/13 work programme as well as the participants’ views on priorities for the CAEP/14 cycle.
- EAEG/76-Expanded (online, 5 November): Discussions centred around proposals for European papers to the 42nd ICAO Assembly, and updates to the European common section of ICAO State Action Plans, which were reviewed and endorsed by the group.
- EAEG/77 (Paris, 18-19 November): This in-person meeting continued preparations for CAEP/13, facilitating productive dialogue with stakeholders. The industry representatives shared their priorities and updated the EAEG members on their work on critical environmental issues.
