AEF officers and board members meet with the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to discuss third party risk (with local government representation from the director of the Strategic Aviation Special Interest Group).
AEF takes part in an event marking 2 years of the Eurostar “Tread Lightly” campaign to reduce carbon emissions from intercontinental transport. Eurostar is celebrating its claim that a journey on one of their trains emits just one tenth of the CO2 emissions of an equivalent flight- even without radiative forcing being added:
