The oil & gas industry had a record cash windfall in 2022 due to high fuel prices But most of this has gone to dividends, share buybacks & debt repayment, rather than into energy investments. Only a small fraction has been spent on clean technologies 👉 https://t.co/KMq8mXR7io

✨New blog! 5 reasons why... the Law of the Sea Tribunal must require countries to act on shipping emissions. Our submission asked ITLOS to confirm what countries must do to decarbonise the shipping sector. Here are 5 reasons why this is so important 👇 https://t.co/eCyr9i53PU

Sorry @RoyalCaribbean, but #LNG energy is not 'clean energy', and claiming that it is is #greenwashing. Hopefully our report - out in July - will encourage you to do better. https://t.co/zfDN2pw9Mk

The term ‘zero emissions airports’ is misleading & masks the 95% of #aviation emissions that come from flights. ✈ That's why we joined @_wearepossible @transenv
@The_AEF @GreenAllianceUK @GreenpeaceUK
@friends_earth & @CBTransport in this open letter 👇 https://t.co/kxfiRHHLYF

The government is promising zero emissions airports by 2040. They’ve forgotten one tiny thing: the 95% of emissions from the actual flights!

'Let’s reframe the narrative around corporate travel' ~ says @cm_hicks, who railed from Devon to Berlin and back for work last week🚆🌍 The best way to reduce aviation emissions is to fly less. Business travellers can and should be leading the way. https://t.co/vcKPEY7Jh1

There are plenty of decent reasons to choose an alternative to flying - we have to start by reducing demand if we want to get aviation to a better place.
