flight-shame. (From Swedish "flygskam") The phenomenon of travelers avoiding air travel in favor of trains or other forms of ground-based transportation as a response to the threat posed by climate change. Siometimes referred to as the "flight-shame movement."
In context . . .
"The newly coined concept of flygskam, or "flight-shame,” has turned some Swedes bashful about their globe-trotting. A guerrilla campaign used Instagram to tally the planet-busting travels of top Swedish celebrities. Next door in Norway, meanwhile, the prime minister felt the need to assure citizens that they need not apologize for flying to see family in the high north."
