Good news that the delay will allow the to take into account the 7th Carbon Budget but worrying that the govt has failed to address airport expansion directly in its 2024 Progress Report. Hopefully GALBA’s Jet Zero Judicial Review will flush this out!
The delay to the Luton Airport decision will allow the Government to take into account @theCCCuk 7th Carbon Budget advice (expected end of Feb 2025), but its response yesterday to CCC's 2024 Progress Report didn't respond directly to the 'stop airport expansion' recommendation

LBA wants to fly UNLIMITED numbers of planes at night. It’s all part of their masterplan to expand from 4 mill to 7 mill annual passengers. We are challenging them at public inquiry but we urgently need legal funds. Please will you help us win?

Great work from @transenv 👏👏 They've ranked current EU train operators and highlighted areas that need improvement. Rail connectivity and reliability is crucial in the shift to lower-emissions travel! 💪 1/2 https://t.co/4dWe6sWgS2

Is the environmental health of the planet in safe hands when it comes to market traders? 🤔 The EU ETS is designed like a financial market, argues @Tarim_E, and is therefore could be vulnerable to unscrupulous speculators. @ConversationUK

There are lessons from the EU’s highly financialised cap-and-trade market.

Important information about so-called green aviation fuels.
Interesting write up of @transenv’s new report on SAF, drawing out two problems: 1) airlines are buying the wrong kind of alternative fuel, and that 2) the oil industry is being too slow in producing lower-emissions aviation fuel. https://t.co/Jwa5hHBRq7

If you didn’t catch this BBC programme last week - check out Nick Hodgkinson from GALBA cutting through the greenwash to explain that Jet Zero ‘isn’t ambitious…it’s stupid’.

Exploring controversial plans to change how we fly. Cheap flights have transformed our holidays, but can new technology reduce our environmental impact without prices increasing?

Unsustainable transport and #greenwashing being called out by @StayGroundedNet 👏
On World Sustainable Transport Day, Stay Grounded supporters took a stand against one of Europe's largest aerospace conferences, the #AviationForum, in Munich—a breeding ground for lies and greenwashing. 👉 Greenwashing fact sheets: https://t.co/tT82Jelyvv 1/

Our Policy Director, @ChadCeleste, speaks plainly about a hitherto un-scrutinised part of the aviation industry: the aircraft leasing industry. But what role does this middle-man play? What is its mandate in terms of decarbonisation? Take a look 👀👀👇 https://t.co/lgolSIk00C
"What looks like a bulletproof asset today may soon start to look like a liability." @ChadCeleste, policy manager at @The_AEF, discusses how well the aviation leasing industry is equipped to reach net zero: https://t.co/6UNQ5RfiU3

Expanding Gatwick would be madness. Harmful not just to the climate, but to our health as well…
