Abstract

Abstract After almost 20 years, states agreed at the ICAO on the creation of Carbon Offset and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The article aims at analyzing the Brazilian role in the negotiations and presenting the debate about CORSIA in Brazil. CORSIA may encourage the expansion of offset projects in Brazil, changing local political dynamics and resulting in different environmental impacts.

Highlights

  • After almost 20 years, at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) states agreed to address Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from international civil aviation

  • CORSIA is a carbon offsetting scheme, which means that part of the GHG emissions from international air transport will need to be offset though the purchase of carbon credits

  • We take two dimensions into account to define Brazil’s policy profile (Viola and Franchini 2017) in relation to international civil aviation emissions regulation negotiations: a) the country’s climate foreign policy at ICAO and, b) the domestic policies related to aviation emissions in Brazil, as a way to surpass the political discourse and take into account effective measures taken by actors in order to define the domestic politics – if any – in this issue area
