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.

We can’t rely on industry and governments to reduce aviation emissions. That’s why we are in Lille for #AviAction to discuss how we can use #PeoplePower to reduce aviation’s climate impact and how to put pressure on politicians and the industry.
