Environmental groups and former pilots are calling for a ban on private jets at the Cannes Film Festival after data showed 750 flights consumed two million liters of kerosene. The report highlights a significant gap in climate policy, noting that many private jets avoid carbon taxes that commercial passengers must pay. Activists are urging the EU to close loopholes in the Emissions Trading Scheme to ensure high emitters are held accountable. Transitioning these luxury flights to commercial travel could help the festival reach 40 percent of its 2030 CO2 reduction goals.
