Climate-driven supply shocks, like food price inflation, show our economy is deeply vulnerable. System-wide change, including a transition from high-emission sectors like aviation, is essential for true stability.

If a 12-person sailing boat can operate a scheduled international crossing using wind & tide, why are we still defaulting to fossil-fuel airlines for everything? Time to rethink normal travel. #ClimateAction www.saillink.co.uk/explore/

That's a shocking stat and it shows the huge carbon cost of extreme wealth. A private jet is the most polluting way to travel. But the problem is flying itself. To fix this, we all need to fly less. When we all demand better, low-carbon travel, it forces bigger changes. #climate

World leaders are failing. Only 64 countries have a new climate plan. This isn't enough to stop dangerous warming. It's time for real action, not just talk. Choosing to travel without flying is one powerful way to lead the change. #FlightFree www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you are in or around Glasgow, our event 'Travel, flying and the climate crisis' is on Thursday! Our inspiring speakers will look at the climate science behind flying, and help you plan a flight-free journey. 30th October, 7pm, Townhead Village Hall. Tickets: www.tickettailor.com/events/fligh...

The aviation industry calls biofuels “Sustainable Aviation Fuel.” They’re not. They divert land, food, and resources from where they’re needed most and can even emit more CO₂ than fossil fuels. #StayGrounded #Greenwashing #Aviation

Why Choosing Overland Travel Can Actually Save the Planet 🌍 1/9 Most of us don’t realise that aviation isn’t “just another mode of transport.” It’s responsible for around 2.4% of global CO₂ emissions but the total climate impact is actually twice that when non-CO₂ effects are included.

How do you get to the nation’s favourite holiday destination, Spain, without flying? 🇪🇸 Our Director Anna has just come back from a holiday (ahem, research) in Malaga - just two days from London by train (three from most other UK destinations) 🚄

Everyone’s talking about “green aviation” like it’s going to save the planet. But is electric or hydrogen flight really that green? 👀 Let’s talk about it. #FlightFree #ClimateCrisis #GreenTech #SustainableTravel

Individual action alone won't solve the climate crisis, but it is a powerful catalyst. When we choose not to fly and voice our reasons, we send a clear signal to industry and government, demanding better low-carbon travel infrastructure. take the #FlightFreeChallenge. flightfree.co.uk

SAF promises have been missed for a decade. Current use is less than 0.01%. Scaling up risks deforestation and strains limited renewable energy. The most reliable way to cut aviation emissions? Fly less. #SustainableTravel #Facts flightfree.co.uk/post/the-tro...

Ever had to say no to something that looked great on paper… but didn’t sit right in your gut? That’s what Rachel’s husband, Andrew, did when he was asked to lead an ad campaign for an airline. Except this campaign was about how sustainable flying supposedly is. 😬 #SustainableTravel #ClimateAction

"we argue that US universities largely remain embedded in a broader agenda to reconcile the #climate crisis with what appears to be a greener capitalism that extends fossil fuel extraction into the future."

To power flying with biofuels would require vast land, threatening food security and biodiversity. E-fuels would need 3-4x the world's current renewable energy. Are these the right priorities? Learn the troubling scale. #Greenwash #ClimatePolicy flightfree.co.uk/post/the-tro...

Thinking of a Euro trip? Research shows 41% of UK flight routes have a rail alternative. Making the switch for these journeys could be a key climate action. Explore the data and potential: doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... #FlyLess #TrainTravel #ClimateAction #Environment
