Buttigieg, who has faced pressure from U.S. lawmakers who want airlines to offer better service or face stiff fines, has clashed with major U.S. airlines over who is to blame for tens of thousands of flight delays and cancellations this summer. In letters to major, regional and low-cost carrier chief executives made public Friday, Buttigieg said his department (USDOT) is "contemplating options" to write new rules "that would further expand the rights of airline passengers." He urged airlines to ensure adequate services for passengers facing delays and cancellations, asking them "at a minimum" to provide meal vouchers for delays of 3 hours or more and lodging for those who must wait overnight because of disruptions within the carrier’s control. "Regardless of the cause of the delays or cancelations, the Department expects airlines to provide timely and responsive customer service during and after periods of flight disruptions," Buttigieg wrote.

It is not surprising that many CEOs feel overwhelmed as they face the climate challenge. There is no shortage of headlines highlighting the trillions of US dollars it will take to green the economy. And the opportunities are endless, with possibilities to exponentially grow customer demand for green products. Yet the day-to-day work of turning ambition into reality is undeniably challenging. Consider that 31 per cent of companies missed scope 1 and 2 targets they set for 2020 through the Science Based Targets initiative, despite the fact that these emissions are the most controllable and there are many options available to address them (see figure). Of course, all of this is not happening in a green vacuum. Executives are trying to pursue their decarbonisation targets during a period of turbulence that has created historic levels of uncertainty and numerous difficulties.
