Environment and sustainability
Climate change is a significant and accelerating risk for airports in the Caribbean and Latin America (LAC). Higher temperatures, heavy precipitation and stronger storms are already impacting infrastructure and disrupting operations, and this will only increase. Given the social and economic criticality of airports to the region, it is vital that they adapt and build resilience. However, to date, knowledge of potential impacts and adaptation measures is limited. This new ACI-LAC study presents novel insights into the key climate challenges that LAC airports will face and the actions that are needed to develop a climate-resilient regional airport sector.
- How will climate change impact airports in Latin America and the Caribbean and what will be the biggest challenges?
- What are LAC airports doing to adapt and build resilience to climate change and what further action is required?
- To what extent do LAC airports consider themselves prepared for the impacts of climate change?
- What are the five key actions that the LAC airport sector can take to accelerate climate adaptation action?
