Day 1 - 20 March
Session: Energy, Environment & Sustainability

12:00 - 12:30 - The sustainable airport environment – noise and land use compatibility
Synopsis: Sustainability initiatives often focus on matters within the airport's control and within airport boundaries. This presentation will summarise efforts taken in the USA to integrate noise and land use compatibility into airport sustainability. These are challenging efforts in many countries because airport authorities do not always have control over surrounding land uses. The objective of this presentation is to present one nation's initiatives in a manner that fosters dialogue on what is a significant issue for airports around the world.

Audience will learn:

• One country's efforts to understand and address land use and noise compatibility issues
• How land use and noise are becoming intertwined with sustainability planning
• How these efforts may/may not apply to airports around the world
