For decades, the #aviation industry has long resisted all but ineffective international regulation on emissions.
The UN body @icao has only agreed to regulations that promote growth📈and has done nothing to reduce emissions.

International aviation will be regulated by a cheap #offsetting scheme. Why is that bad?
❌The offset price is less that €1/tonne of CO2
❌Passengers will pay €2 on a flight to NY to offset emissions
❌These sums won't incentivise the uptake of clean fuels or technology

We need true solutions to decarbonise the sector:
✅a carbon market for aviation that prices emissions
✅more sustainable fuels in planes
✅more investment in clean technology like hydrogen
