Sustainable Aviation Environmental Research

Update Symposium – 6 December 2103

Status

• Substantial body of recent and current environmental research in academia & elsewhere – visibility is poor

• UK work now through projects rather than programmes

• Coordination and focus is weak – SA engagement can rectify

• Falls mainly outside current scope of AGP/ATI activity yet dependencies exist

Moving forward

• Previous needs analysis overtaken by events

• SA roadmaps point to research as well as action needs

• Recent SA prioritisation analysis can also help direct and inform new knowledge needs

• Wider stimuli through Airports Commission, International CO2 pressures, health awareness

• Opportunity to connect stakeholders and stimulate new dialogue and research connections

• WHAT TO AND HOW? 7
