- According to Climate Action Tracker, the aviation sector has been critically insufficient with regards to climate performance.
- At the same time, climate change is worsening and leading to extreme weather events around the world.
- Following the loosening of COVID-19 pandemic-induced restrictions, international air travel is expected to rebound and the emissions from the sector is expected to increase dramatically.
