Stay Grounded NetworkAre there no climate rules for aviation?
Our campaigner Anne explains why the @ICAO@twitter.com's new #NetZero target is a flight path towards climate catastrophe. #ICAOA41
That's why we need #AviAction!
@EnvJustice@twitter.com Just yesterday, the UN aviation agency @ICAO@twitter.com adopted an empty target: "#NetZero carbon emissions by 2050" (more in 🧵🔽). This target changes nothing - we have to stand up ourselves and fight for the necessary reduction of air traffic! #ICAOA41

“BREAKING: The UN aviation agency @ICAO has just adopted a new long-term climate target - #NetZero by 2050 It's highly insufficient & will lead to the aviation industry massively overshooting its fair share of global emissions: https://t.co/ksqWocMVjY #ICAOA41 #FlyNetZero 🧵 1/9”
EU TransportInternational aviation community at #ICAOA41 joined 🇪🇺 today in condemning 🇧🇾 for the hijacking of Ryanair flight on 23 May 2021 to illegally arrest Roman Protasevich.
Such misuse of civil aviation must not be tolerated anywhere in the world.
EU sanctions stay in place.

🇪🇺 also welcomes clear message by #ICAOA41 to condemn 🇷🇺 for violation of international aviation rules.
Continued violation of 🇺🇦 airspace & flying stolen aircraft in unsafe conditions is not acceptable
@ICAO's fundamental rules must be respected for the safety & security of ✈️

RT @EU_ICAO: 👏Commitment to net-zero carbon emissions from int. aviation by 2050 made at #ICAOA41!
🇪🇺 welcomes this historical decision to tackle aviation emissions/climate change, it also provides certainty for the industry, investors & all States.

EU in CanadaICAO is doing nothing to reduce aviation's climate impact. #ICAOA41
We have to fight for change ourselves: there will be numerous actions against aviation and its negative impacts in the coming months and in 2023. #AviAction

#ICAOA41 #NetZero: Where does this ineffective target come from?
An analysis by @InfluenceMap@twitter.com has just shown: #ICAO is massively influenced by corporate interests:

“Unveiled: The UN aviation agency (@ICAO) is captured by corporate interests 📈🤑! Right in time for #ICAOA41 a new report by @Influencemap reveals how corporate interests influence the global climate policy at the UN agency for aviation. Why is this so concerning? 🧵⬇️”
#ICAOA41 #NetZero: Relying on offsetting
Until now, international aviation has only been "regulated" by the CORSIA scheme. It's an ineffective greenwashing tool that is completely ineffective. Now it has been watered down again, as @transenv@twitter.com analyses. https://www.transportenvironment.org/discover/un-body-icao-hails-empty-goal-and-cheap-offsetting-scheme-to-green-aviation/

UN body ICAO hails empty goal and cheap offsetting scheme to ‘green’ aviation - Transport & Environment
With the offsetting scheme put forward by the UN agency for aviation, ICAO, a mere 22% of total international emissions would be offset by 2030, new data by Transport & Environment (T&E) finds.
#ICAOA41 #NetZero: Relying on unrealistic tech solutions
ICAO, like the aviation industry, is relying on technological solutions to reduce aviation emissions. But all these technologies have problems and limits and are not yet available: https://stay-grounded.org/greenwashing/
