1/n THREAD on AVIATION TAX ✈️✈️✈️

Today a high level EU conference is happening in the Netherlands on carbon pricing and #aviationtax.

Netherlands is pushing for European countries to begin taxing aircraft fuel.

Conference live here: #Aviatax2019NL
2/n The conference is specifically for EU finance ministers and officials.

I've been told they purposely did not let in transport ministers who are notorious for being crap on climate related measures and blocking them.
3/n Taxing aviation kerosene sold in Europe would:
- cut aviation emissions by 11%
- have no net impact on jobs/the economy as a whole
- raise about €27bn every year

This is according to an EU Commission report leaked last month by @transenv
