Ask Sec. Kerry to Lead on Curbing Aviation Climate Pollution Climate Activist— It's that time of year again! Across the country, Americans are planning trips and booking flights to visit far away loved ones—but what's the real cost of that cross-country flight?
If it were a country, the aviation industry would rank in the world's top 10 largest emitters, and aviation is one of the fastest-growing sources of global pollution.
But it doesn't have to be. The technology to fly smarter and more efficiently is already available—now we just have to implement it.
Take Action: Ask Secretary Kerry to ensure that the U.S. steps up its leadership role in curbing aviation pollution.
The international community—through the International Civil Aviation Organization—has agreed to work towards a roadmap to place a global limit on carbon pollution from aviation, but the real work is just beginning.
America needs to step up its leadership role in ICAO to ensure real results for climate action. A firm cap on aviation emissions is urgently needed if we are going to avert the kind of catastrophic climate shifts that will prove so damaging to our communities in the coming years.
The President has already laid out a compelling vision for America to take a leading international role on climate action.
Ask Secretary Kerry to ensure that American leadership continues in our efforts to limit aviation emissions.
