Sustainable aviation and climate resilience

Sustainable aviation and climate resilience are fundamental for today’s aviation industry. The actions airports and airlines take today to reduce their impact on climate change, address the effects of climate change on their operations, and embed social inclusivity will shape the industry for years to come.
Sustainable airport resilience

Today’s trends across the globe

Aviation is experiencing a transformative shift. The push towards sustainable aviation is being driven by a number of major trends that are not futuristic – they are already happening, and we witness them daily.

The first trend is the global push for energy transition, with governments, regulatory bodies and local communities influencing sustainable energy use across the sector. The second trend is around design and planning. What we design today shapes our future, emphasising nature-based, circular design that reduces material use while enabling reuse and recycle.

On top of this, the aviation industry needs to adapt to the impacts of climate change, addressing both chronic issues such as rising sea levels, as well as acute events such as more frequent extreme weather events. Airports need to prepare for these climate risks and embrace this new reality.

Building a sustainable future for aviation

The aviation industry will face a more complex landscape going forward. Despite these challenges, we also see opportunity in ensuring business continuity, regulatory compliance and earning the license to operate.

Action must be taken in order to mitigate potential financial, operational or reputational impacts.

To ensure profitability and future-proof your airport, it's important to know where you are in your journey as well as where you want to go and how to get there.

At NACO, we enable and support airports, airlines, and the aviation ecosystem to do this as they build towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
