A campaign group has organised free online talks to coincide with COP28.

CAGNE (Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions) will start their talks this Thursday in light of London Gatwick’s expansion plans.

A CAGNE spokesperson said: “We're heading towards nearly 3C of catastrophic temperature rises and yet the climate impact of flying continues to be ignored when it is a major contributor. Why? This is the third year CAGNE, your umbrella aviation community and environment group, has organised FREE online talks to coincide with COP. With the threat of a new runway at Gatwick Airport and airport expansion due to government policy being so out of date as it does not consider climate change.

“CAGNE ask is time not only ticking for our planet but also is it running out if policy does not reflect global warming? “Aviation ignores aircraft movements in all calculations as they do not have to include them nor the accumulative amount of emissions each airport creates.”
