Dear Minister Riina Sikkut,
I am pleased to invite you to the third meeting of the International Aviation
Climate Ambition Coalition in Montreal, Canada, on 26 September 2022. This
meeting will take place on the eve of the pivotal 41st ICAO Assembly,
presenting you with the opportunity to join your fellow Coalition members in
demonstrating your leadership and commitment to tackling international
aviation emissions.
Context
As you will be aware, this year’s ICAO Assembly will see 193 states gather to
take crucial decisions that will determine international aviation’s emissions for
the coming decades. As a member of the Coalition, you are already leading
the way in demonstrating your commitment to securing a green future for
international aviation and the global climate alike. Since its launch at COP26
the Coalition has continued to expand and now includes 35 signatories from
every world region, representing over half of global emissions, with members
like yourself working tirelessly to advance ambitious climate action for aviation.
Third Meeting of IACAC
Following the Coalition’s launch event at COP26, and its second meeting in
May 2022, I am delighted to invite you to the third meeting of the Coalition
(IACAC/3). This can be an influential public moment ahead of the Assembly
and we plan to bring together industry leaders, environmental organisations
and other stakeholders, alongside Ministers of Coalition states from all world
regions. It will present you with an opportunity to discuss and showcase the
fantastic work being carried out in your state and region to advance aviation
climate action, and allow us to reaffirm our commitment to ambitious measures
at a global level
In the afternoon, officials from delegations in attendance will meet to coordinate
in detail on plans and expectations for the Assembly negotiations. Details of
this meeting will be provided separately.
Date and Time: 26 September 2022, 10.30am-12.30pm
Location: Salle Ville-Marie, L'Hôtel Bonaventure, Montreal, QC H5A 1E4
RSVP
Please confirm your attendance by 1 September 2022 to
[email protected]. I
would be grateful if you could also nominate a contact person with whom my
officials can discuss preparations further.
If you are unable to attend, I invite you to appoint another Minister or the head
of your delegation to the Assembly to attend on your behalf. Furthermore, I
would be grateful for your support in continuing to invite your allies and
Neighbours to join the Coalition ahead of the meeting, in order to seize this
opportunity and maximise our collective voice.
I very much hope you can attend and look forward to our continued partnership,
through the upcoming Assembly and beyond.
Yours sincerely,
Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRANSPORT
