FLYGSKAM
Societal trends
• Pressure from civil society
for climate change mitigation
• Natural desasters are
increasingly interpreted as
results of climate change.
Changing awareness
among passengers
• #Flygskam (no flights in 2020)
• Fridays for Future
• Increasing “carbon conscience”
Changing behaviour?
• Value-action gap: Passengers
fly despite concerns about
their emissions.
• Willingness to pay for own
emissions remains low.
Wann und wie wird ein verändertes
Bewusstsein in verändertes Mobilitätsverhalten
münden?
Die Debatte um nachhaltiges Bewusstsein in der Luftfahrt hat
sich 2019 stark intensiviert. Die spezifischen Effekte auf das
Reiseverhalten sind allerdings schwer zu identifizieren.
When and how will increasing
awareness lead to different
travel behaviour?
The public debate around environmental awareness in
aviation sharply intensified in 2019. The specific effects on
travel behaviour are, however, difficult to identify.
Gute Vorsätze von Menschen aus Europa, den USA und China bezüglich Flugreisen
Die Verschiebung in der Wahrnehmung zwischen 2018 und 2019 ist eklatant. Persönliche Präferenzen zeigen, wie unterschiedlich die Auswirkungen
auf das Reiseverhalten ausfallen könnten.
Good resolutions of people from Europe, the USA, and China regarding air travel
The shift in awareness from 2018 to 2019 is striking. Diverging personal preferences could lead to quite different effects on travel behaviour.
