Advancing mEasures to Reduce aviatiOn imPact on cLimate and enhAnce resilieNce to climate-changE (AEROPLANE)

航空和气候之间的联系非常紧密。一方面，空中交通增加了温室气体排放，改变了全球大气的组成，从而推动了气候变化。另一方面，大气过程显著影响整个航空链：温度变化影响基础设施和飞机性能，多变的风和降水模式增加延误和取消等。近年来，研究人员在研究航空对气候的影响以及减轻这种影响的方法方面付出了巨大的努力。将这些知识的进步付诸实践，需要在部署和实施阶段进一步发展气候影响评估方法。除了这些努力之外，还需要采取新的适应措施，使航空业不那么容易受到我们已经经历的不可避免的气候条件变化的影响，例如热浪和其他影响很大的天气现象。目标：该项目旨在开发一套工具，以减少航空对气候的影响，并提高该部门对气候变化的适应能力。其目的是提高对航空对气候影响的认识并实施监测，同时评估航空部门对气候变化导致的极端事件加剧的适应能力。

The interconnection between Aviation and climate is very tight. On the one hand, air traffic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that alter the composition of the atmosphere globally, hence driving Climate Change. On the other hand, atmospheric processes significantly impact the whole chain of Aviation: changesin temperature affect infrastructure and aircraft performance, variable wind and precipitation patterns increase delays and cancellations, etc. In recent years, researchers put a strong effort in investigating the impact of Aviation on climate and ways to mitigate it. Putting these knowledge advancements into practice requires further development of the climate impact assessment methodology towards the deployment and implementation phases. In addition to these efforts, new adaptation measures are necessary to make the aviation sector less vulnerable to the unavoidable changes in climate conditions which we are already experiencing, such as heatwaves and other highly-impactful weather phenomena. Objectives: The project aims at developing a toolset for reducing the aviation impact on climate and to enhance the sector’s resilience to climate change. The idea is to advance the knowledge and operationalize the monitoring on the impact of aviation on climate, and, concurrently, to assess the resilience of the aviation sector to the exacerbation of extreme events due to climate change.
