NEW DELHI: Government of India should focus on the setting up of a contact group to discuss the management of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment urged tod

ICAO agrees to put in place by 2020 a market-based system to curb carbon emissions from airlines

India, along with countries like China, Russia and the US, scored a diplomatic victory in the aviation sector. The UN body in charge of civil aviation, International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), made it clear that the Europe Union would not be permitted to levy a carbon tax on foreign airlines landing in and taking off from the EU region.
