As communities become more socially and environmentally conscious, there is growing awareness of some of the adverse impacts of aviation activity, including its contribution to climate change and the resulting social pressure to sometimes discourage air travel.
ACRP Research Report 277: Communicating a Balanced Look at Local Airport Activity and Climate Change, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, is a guide for airport practitioners to understand the relationships among their airport's activity, economic benefits, and climate change. The guide offers rules of thumb to estimate these changes and effectively communication strategies that directly address the most common community concerns.
