5⃣ things everyone needs to know about aviation and the climate – what science says.

The institute @ISAE_officiel has together with external experts summarised the scientific literature on aviation, its climate impact and ways forward: isae-supaero.fr/en/aviation-an…

#Thread 🧵🔽
1⃣ The climate impact of aviation

@ISAE_officiel: "If we consider all the effects (CO2 and non-CO2), commercial aviation accounted for 5.1% of the climate impact over the 2000-2018. Period."
2⃣ Aviation's non-CO2 effects

@ISAE_officiel: "Specific strategies for the reduction of non-CO2 effects provide a major lever for limiting aviation’s climate impact. Due to the short lifetime of non-CO2 effects, these strategies can be effective quite quickly."

Reducing aviation is a matter of #ClimateJustice! 🌍⚖️

What are the injustices fuelled by our fossil-based mobility and economic system – and what does climate justice mean in this context?

The enormous global injustice of the climate crisis:
The countries of the Global North are responsible for 92% of climate-damaging emissions beyond the safe planetary limit of 350 ppm CO2. The Global South is responsible for just 8%, as a 2020 study by @jasonhickel has shown.

#ClimateInjustice means (amongst other things) that communities that have contributed least to the climate crisis are already suffering most from its consequences. But #ClimateJustice must be much more than sharing efforts to reduce emissions and financing adaptation.

11 facts that will change your view on air traffic and its climate impact
#CommonDestination #ReframeAviation

#Thread 🧵1/14
Before Covid, flying caused around 1 billion tonnes of CO2* per year.

That means if aviation were a country, it would be one of the largest single emitters, just behind Japan and ahead of countries like Germany and South Korea.
*Flights have additional climate impacts.

Flying regularly is not compatible with a 1.5 degree lifestyle.

Just one long-haul flight can emit more CO2 per passenger than what's feasible for staying below 1.5 degrees of global heating.
