Make any bailouts for UK airlines conditional on reducing emissions

Petition Details

The government needs to make UK airlines reduce carbon emissions as a condition of receiving a bail out to survive the COVID-19 outbreak. Currently the government don’t include international flights in the UK carbon budget, and not enough is being done to reduce emissions from this sector.

Additional Information

The current circumstances present an opportunity to request airlines to reduce their emission intensity, to help the UK conform to the UN Paris Agreement. This needs to include actual commitments to reducing emissions rather than just offsetting. Worse crises than the one we’re living through could happen if we don’t take action to create a sustainable future.
