With legal action targeting the government's Jet Zero strategy and a new analysis suggesting the aviation industry is off course to meet Paris Agreement goals, pressure is mounting on airlines to revamp their decarbonisation plans. The government claims that Jet Zero is how the aviation industry will reach net zero emissions by 2050.
