Description: The goal of this report is to consolidate in one single publication comprehensive and reliable information on aviation and the environment. In accessible language, readers will find up to date information on the work of ICAO and other relevant bodies. Intended primarily for ICAO Contracting States, the aviation community and interested members of the public, the Report focuses on the results of the seventh meeting of ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP/7), held in February 2007 and on the ICAO Aviation Emissions Colloquium (May 2007). It also pays particular attention to studies and reports from the IPCC and developments emanating from other relevant UN fora such as the UNFCCC in reference to aviation. The Report consists of six parts which, together, cover the full range of issues, developments and trends: Aviation Outlook; Aircraft Noise; Local Emissions; Global Emissions; Modelling and Databases; and International Cooperation. For ease of reading and consulting, each part begins with an overview to bring readers up to speed on the subject discussed, followed by articles from experts. Most of the material covered in this Report reflects the work of ICAO and its groups of experts, although some articles are dedicated to main developments outside ICAO of relevance to the discussions on aviation and the environment.
