Put this date in your diary now! This will be the time to take the agenda
forward on aviation, and insist that at this time of climate emergency we
cannot afford to be using high-emission forms of transport where viable
alternatives exist. And that aviation will need to bear the burden of
emissions reductions along with other sectors
