Webinar: Aviation biofuels in the UK, greenwashing and the potential for further harm
August 19, 2025
Join us at 4pm on Thursday 28th August for a webinar discussing the implications and risks of the drive by government and business to expand the aviation biofuels sector in the UK. We will discuss the ideological and economic drivers of this development, the severe environmental consequences and hazards to human wellbeing associated with it, and strategies to fight back. Speakers will be representatives of Biofuelwatch and Rainforest Rescue, with a potential contribution from Landworkers’ Alliance Scotland to be confirmed.

The decisions made here in the UK matter hugely. This is a crucial moment for resistance as the government seeks to push through a mandate for alternative aviation fuels.
