• Managing noise though an innovative approach - this session will focus on innovative noise management initiatives around airports.
• Resilience and adaptation to climate change - increasingly adverse weather conditions as a result of "changing climate" have already started to impact airport infrastructure and aviation operations around airports and beyond.  Recent examples in the Caribbean have shown that risk assessments are essential to aviation stakeholders' planning.  This session will address practices already in place and future plans that can help the industry to work towards becoming more resilient.
