Netz der Rebellion protesters at the 60th anniversary of the #ITB say there’s nothing to celebrate. Behind the tourism industry’s “green & diverse” image lies exploitation: from Mexico to Palestine. Resist mega-airports, militarisation & #FIFA World Cup. youtu.be/9DzL324JRoc

They call for: 🛬 The immediate cancellation of all harmful aviation expansion projects ☠️ An end to new oil and gas projects ☀️ A massive investment in renewable energy accessible to local communities 🌻 A just energy transition that protects people and respects human rights

With communities already being strongly impacted by climate breakdowns - w/ floods, disrupted agricultural seasons, food insecurity & forced displacement - powerful interests continue pushing for new fossil fuel projects & aviation expansion. 2/3

Join the Housing Action Days! #HAD2026 Touristification & aviation go hand in hand, driving the climate & housing crises. Flights fuel #Airbnb, rising rents & displacement, airport expansion locks in inequality & ecological destruction. Get involved: stay-grounded.org/housing-action…

The military moved heavy machinery to the planned Nakonde Airport site. They tried to demarcate the land but residents refused & are demanding the government respect their rights It's urgent to get back on the ground to strengthen the resistance Donate: chuffed.org/project/let-my…

Air traffic keeps expanding even where trains are a real alternative. Across Europe, hundreds of short-haul flights run weekly on routes where rail takes 2–4 hours. They shouldn’t grow, they should be banned. #RedLinesForAirports europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/domestic-…

This isn’t just a climate issue. It’s a justice issue. Airport expansion threatens Indigenous + communal lands in Mexico. Pollution rises. Militarisation rises. Communities are pushed out. Meanwhile, the same elites burning the most fuel claim to “bring people together.” 7/8

#FIFAWorldCup2026 has a climate problem, and it’s not just the flights.  It’s the scale of aviation, the corporate capture of football and the communities being pushed aside to make it all possible. 1/8
