From the Swedish « flygskam » (flight-shaming) movement to the global #MakeThemPay campaign, we’ve seen growing pressure on this sector. In Europe, citizens’ assemblies have called upon a decarbonisation of aviation, together with the use of a fair polluters-pay system and the bans of private jets and helicopters. It’s clear that change is needed and momentum is building.

🌍 In the Anthropocene, where human activities are profoundly affecting our environment, biodiversity and climate, the urgency to address the climate crisis is undeniable. Aviation, as a major contributor to climate change, is in the spotlight. Indeed, despite its unparalleled climate impact, the sector remains underreported and most importantly, under regulated.

🔍 Key questions to explore :

• How can the aviation industry reduce its environmental impact ?
• Can sustainable alternatives be developed for air travel ?
• What are the implications of banning private jets ?
• Is the aviation industry’s focus on sustainable fuels genuine or just « greenwashing » ?
