A newly formed group of aviation professionals, called Call Aviation to Action, claims the aviation industry is not effectively addressing its contribution to the climate crisis. The group emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift in industry practices, including stricter controls on flight numbers, arguing that current optimistic views on emissions-reduction technology are misplaced. They express concern that if significant actions are not taken, the industry could face severe regulation. Co-founder Karel Bockstael criticizes the International Civil Aviation Organization for its inadequate climate actions, highlighting the potential dangers of aviation emissions growing unchecked.
The aviation industry must undergo a fundamental transition, addressing its role in the climate crisis rather than relying solely on technology for emissions cuts.
ICAO's performance has been inadequate; they only presented the Corsia scheme, which merely shifts carbon responsibility instead of effectively reducing emissions.
