The aviation industry, heavily dominated by delegates from fossil fuel companies, is under scrutiny for its insufficient climate action and transparency concerns. At the UN’s aviation environmental protection committee, industry representatives outnumbered green groups by a significant margin, prompting accusations of industry capture. The upcoming CAEP meeting lacks public information on its agenda and participants, while past meetings have seen high fees for access to essential documents. According to experts, aviation growth must be curtailed to meet climate targets, as current industry measures are deemed inadequate to address rising emissions.
The aviation industry is currently allowing unchecked growth, with little change to its plans despite growing emissions and consistently insufficient climate proposals.
ICAO meetings show a troubling lack of transparency, with high costs for obtaining meeting documents, and an environment that restricts public attendance.
Critics argue ICAO’s close ties with the aviation industry lead to insufficient efforts in addressing aviation's contribution to climate change.
Independent analysts state that without significant measures to curb growth and emissions, the targets for climate action in aviation are unattainable.
