Nations Agency: Icao and Safety Standards

nations agency: The International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO a United Nations agency which designs aviation's environmental and safety standards, has headquarters in Montreal, according to National Observer. ICAO's committee on aviation environmental protection is making critical decisions this year behind closed doors on carbon emissions that will affect the world's climate system for decades to come. Amid all the talk of data sharing and citizen empowerment, there was no mention that Canada is home to one of the most opaque, secretive rule-making bodies in the world. But its meetings are closed to the public. The policy stance of the Canadian and all other ICAO member governments on cutting aviation's giant carbon footprint remains secret before decisions are actually made. Journalists are literally not allowed in the building. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
