Could you be flight-free in 2025?
Why... when aviation (apparently) only accounts for 2.5% global emissions?
Here's why (and the facts behind the figures): flightfree.co.uk/post/what-h…

41% of French population is in favour of a proposal to limit everyone to 4 flights in their entire life.
59% of 18-24 year-olds agree.
2 return flights. Not per year: per life.

At end of the day 121 years ago, humans had spent less than 5 minutes in sustained, controlled flight covering less than 1,500 feet on a windy beach. But it gave rise to what we see today with nearly 200,000 daily flights on all 7 continents. #WrightBrothersDay

Aviation accounts for 3.5% of climate change impact, and it's one of the sectors where emissions are increasingly most rapidly.
But where do aviation emissions come from?
The answer is in this new paper led by Frédéric Dobruszkes - THREAD doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2…

We NEED a #FrequentFlyingLevy in Europe NOW. Cutting aviation emissions is vital to meeting our climate goals but it is a small minority of wealthy people who are flying in the face of those targets.
