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: stay-grounded.org/factsheets/net…

#ICAOA41 #NetZero: No binding targets

#ICAO's net-zero target is not binding for states. They still have no obligation to reduce emissions sufficiently to meet the 1.5 degree limit.

#ICAOA41 #NetZero: No intermediate targets

ICAO's net-zero target does not include interim targets until 2050, but if aviation continues to grow as expected, it will have used up its fair share of the remaining emissions budget well before 2050.

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?
🧵⬇️ Laughing Leo Meme, text: "That feel when you influence
.@ICAO has some serious and concerning transparency issues:

🤐 Non-disclosure agreements for delegates to join closed-door meetings
🔒 secret climate negotiations
🚫 media bans for key climate meetings

Find the report: influencemap.org/report/Corpora…

30% of delegates at #ICAO climate meetings since the Paris Agreement directly represented the aviation or fossil fuel industries, as the report shows.

So industry delegates outnumber environmental representatives 7️ to 1️ ‼️ #ICAO41

The 2nd day of #AviAction starts with a keynote: Solidarity Beyond Borders: Targeting European institutions involved in destructive airport projects worldwide.

With representatives of Filipino organisations speaking about a massive airport complex in the Bulacan province. 🧵🔽
The construction for a massive airport and airport city complex, an ‘aerotropolis’, in the Bulacan province, Manila Bay in the Philippines is underway.
The aerotropolis, which is the most expensive infrastructure project to date in the Philippines, is projected to triple the capacity of the existing main Manila airport.

Why is #AviAction needed?
What happened - and what did not happen - since our last #Degrowth of Aviation conference 2019 in Barcelona: raising awareness, but aviation remains untaxed, received huge Covid bailouts and it's still growing, after a short drop due to the pandemic.

What is @icao, the UN body for civil aviation, doing to reduce the industry's emissions?
Nothing, but follow the industry's lobbying. Also during their current Assembly #ICAOA41, going on at the moment in Montreal.
