On a global average, in order to keep global temperature rise to under 1.5 degrees Celsius, everyone would have to cut consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions down to 2.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalents in 2030, to 1.4 by 2040, and 0.7 by 2050. One long-haul flight alone already exceeds this budget.
Air traffic is a major obstacle to climate justice. While to Western Europeans, it might seem normal to fly, this “normality” has only existed in the last decades, and is still rare on a global scale. It is hard to find exact numbers, but estimations say that about 10%, or between 5 and 20%, of the global population has ever taken a flight. Lots of people cannot afford flying, or are not allowed to do so because of restrictive migration policies.
