WASHINGTON – Delta Air Lines is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit over advertising touting the United States carrier as carbon-neutral, according to a complaint filed on Tuesday in California federal court.
Campaigners have filed hundreds of climate change-related suits to try to accelerate the world’s shift to a low-carbon economy and fight an escalating climate crisis. They are increasingly targeting corporate green claims, often based on the voluntary purchase of carbon offsets, where companies buy credits in pollution-lowering projects to offset emissions.
Global airlines have committed to “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050, partly through purchasing offsets which critics say do not lower actual emissions. Airlines also use sustainable aviation fuel, made from less-polluting materials like used cooking oil, but that fuel represents a fraction of jet fuel use.
