What's worse than a private jet? Taking a private jet to buy your next super-yacht, that's what. One of Europe's largest yacht shows is taking place in Monaco - a gross display of excess and emissions. Activists from @all-eco-sociale.bsky.social greeted this year's super emitters at the airport.

The climate crisis is the single biggest threat to communities. Communities across the world are saying no to airport expansion. We were in the UK last week - as part of our Red Lines for Airports project - standing with community groups demanding the government live up to their own promise.

New factsheet on e-fuels! 📄🔥 stay-grounded.org/wp-content/u... In here, we dive into the latest insights on e-fuels revealing the industry's lies and their critical challenges:  ⏳ Not available in time ⚠️ Severe resource limitations  🌫️ Extremely difficult (if not impossible) to decarbonize
Brand new factsheet!

Debunking the aviation industry’s claims on synthetic electro-fuels

Synthetic electro-fuels or “e-fuels” are liquid hydrocarbon fuels that can be produced by combining hydrogen with carbon and that can be used in existing aircraft blended with fossil kerosene. Together with biofuels, the sector calls them “Sustainable Aviation Fuels” (SAF). But none of them are sustainable, as we demonstrate in this brand new factsheet.

If all jet fuel used worldwidetoday was to be replaced by e-fuel, that would require 0.8 -1.6 times the renewable electricity currently available globally (20224)

The airport would disrupt agriculture, increase displacement, floods, water scarcity + biodiversity loss. They plan to find another place for a new airport. But the delay opens up an opportunity for future movements to sprout and keep drawing red lines over harmful projects. #RedLinesForAirports
Big win! Parandur airport stopped after protests by farmers.

The airport project is being called off in recognition of the farmers' protests and for ecological reasons.

A RED LINE FOR AIRPORTS ❌✈️ Aviation is driving climate breakdown, touristification, land grabbing and militarisation. We need a fair and liveable future, rooted in care, not profit. Stop airport expansion. Reduce air traffic. Sign the manifesto: stay-grounded.org/red-lines-fo... 1/3 ⬇️
10 Measures to Stop Airport Expansion & Reduce Air Traffic.

Let's end the most destructive and pointless flights and make way for a fair and liveable future for all.1) No airport expansion: We cannot allow any further airport expansion! The number of flights should be reduced, not increased.2) No false solutions of offsets and distraction by so-called "sustainable" aviation fuels (SAF): we oppose all forms of greenwashing in achieving aviation emissions reductions. We aim at real cuts in air traffic.
3) Ban Frequent Flyer Programmes and aviation advertising: These practices promote growth and are contrary to fairness.

The world's largest energy agency says we need to fly less - it's true, we do. We can't wait for further catastrophes to take the measures we urgently need.
Green, grainy background with blue text: 'Flying less is suddenly an option when fossil capitalism is at stake! But flying less is the only option because our shared future is at stake. Of course we welcome any recommendation to reduce flights - this is exactly what we need to be doing. By reducing flights now we can have a managed and just transition - something the climate movement has been demanding for years'.

BIG WIN
for Schiphol residents!
The Council of State has struck down the Dutch government’s previous decision on Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
 
The court ruled that aviation policy relied for years on informal, non-democratic agreements instead of the legally required noise limits meant to protect residents.

For the first time in years, noise protection for residents must come first.
