According to ICAO, this Conference will provide an opportunity for detailed technical discussions which are expected to lead to agreement on a set of high-level recommendations in the field of air navigation and safety. These recommendations will be submitted for approval to the Council and, when applicable, for subsequent endorsement by the 42nd Session of the Assembly in 2025.

AN-Conf/14 is a necessary building block between the 41st and 42nd Sessions of the Assembly. It provides a forum to: describe the work that is already prioritized and underway in the ICAO 2023-2025 Business Plan; understand new priorities for ICAO’s future work; and offer timely direction to the Organization as it prepares to present a Business Plan to the 42nd Session of the Assembly in 2025 that sets out a reprioritized work programme and the related resources required. Given the dominant nature of aviation’s environmental challenge, and the need to agree to safety and air navigation strategic plans that build on the related agreements reached at the 41st Session of the Assembly, the Conference is intended to call for an intentional refocusing of effort so that priority can be given to existing or new technical activities that best support the achievement of the long-term aspirational goal for international aviation (LTAG) of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and of other priority focus areas where ICAO activity is essential in order to secure an aviation system that continues to be safe and efficient, with improved resilience.
