When Stephen Clarke, a prominent local councillor and leading climate activist in Bristol, called the expansion of Bristol Airport the biggest carbon decision for a generation, he knew the environmental stakes were high. Then he found out who actually owned it.
In this episode of On the Ground, host Laura Cole reveals a story of a massive national oversight. It’s the story of a local planning battle over an airport that escalated into a national problem we are still struggling to resolve – who is counting aviation emissions? And who is watching a wave of airport expansion across the country?
She's joined by Clarke and members of the Bristol Airport Action Network (BAAN).
