Children’s Rights Over Flights is a grassroots, volunteer group of parents, grandparents and other concerned people based in Ireland, demanding children’s rights are prioritised over endless flights.
We are currently campaigning against the expansion of the passenger cap at Dublin Airport, a move which, as well as harming our climate future, also subjects children living near the airport and under flight paths to increased air and noise pollution. We have supported local community campaign groups in their actions against harmful levels of aviation, including night flights. We seize opportunities to counteract misinformation in the media, while using each occasion to raise public awareness about the impacts of aviation expansion on the rights of children. We advocate for responsible approaches to aviation as the climate crisis worsens, and we make submissions to the planning process and consultations.
We have joined the international network of campaigns on aviation and climate Stay Grounded.
We also support the ByLandAndSea.ie initiative on land and sea transport to and from Ireland.
We work in solidarity with WrongWayDaa a group of people who live close to Dublin Airport who are also campaigning against Dublin Airport expansion.
We also work closely with Friends of the Earth Ireland.
We encourage you to take a stand against the aviation industry’s efforts to increase polluting flight traffic in Ireland. There must be no expansion to Dublin Airport; every sector must play its part in climate action- for every child. Join us in campaigning to “keep the passenger cap”.
Our petition is hosted by Uplift.ie.
