A Climate Camp protest is taking place at Heathrow Airport from the 14-21 August. It is being organised by a collective of independent activists.
Friends of the Earth is providing legal support to help people campaign within the law. We are not involved in the running of the event.
Friends of the Earth is part of AirportWatch – a coalition against airport expansion. Other members include the Women's Institute and Greenpeace.
Heathrow Airport Ltd failed to get an injunction to prevent members of AirportWatch from peacefully campaigning at the Camp.
In a recent court case the judge ruled that the injunction was unjustified – clearing the way for the Climate Camp to go ahead.
Aviation is the UK's fastest-growing source of greenhouse-gas emissions. Friends of the Earth is campaigning for international aviation to be included in the Government's Climate Change Bill.
Airport expansion including a third runway at Heathrow would increase the growing number of flights – making it virtually impossible for the UK to meet its targets to cut CO2 emissions.
