UK Clears Gatwick and Heathrow Runways — But at What Cost to the Climate?
The UK government has approved the construction of a second runway at London Gatwick and a third at Heathrow, adding 370,000 flights a year.
This move raises concerns over the UK's climate commitments and its ability to meet national net zero targets.
The government has "not demonstrated" that the economic benefits of the new runways will outweigh their environmental costs.
- The expansion risks undermining the government's own net zero targets.
- A rapid shift toward low-carbon aviation is needed to prevent airport growth from clashing with the UK's climate goals.
Autor's summary: UK expands runways despite climate concerns.
