All major economies must act on aviation emissions, and @RobertJenrick can help the UK lead the way, by holding an inquiry into the proposed expansion at LBA and ensuring the final decision aligns with the forthcoming net zero aviation strategy.
Our local government has failed, so to stop Leeds Bradford Airport Expansion, we need EVERYONE to ask the national government to intervene. Please take a min to sign and share.

A team of climate leaders has been selected for the new Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission.
A Chair, three Vice-Chairs, a Director and 25 Commissioners have been appointed, all united in their ambition and commitment to tackling the climate crisis.

A statement from my 15 year old daughter, Anna Turton, on today’s City Plans Panel at which the conditions attached to approval of the Leeds Bradford Airport expansion application will be considered. 🧵

We aren't blaming any one group for this decision - local and national politicians need to come together and take the action required - until all of Leeds (and every city) is a clean air zone. 5/5

its also a huge source and symptom of inequality - your postcode shouldn't decide whether you can breathe freely. we must use every tool available to tackle this emergency.

Action should go beyond what's legally required. Vehicle emissions (esp. from private cars) in our cities are a public health emergency - from restricting the size of young people's lungs to destabilising our climate.

Frustrated to hear that the Leeds Clean Air Zone may be scrapped - what's happening here?
Is this the politics of reviews, delays and inaction? Or are our politicians serious about Building Back Better and protecting our health?
