Challenges of Growth Climate Adaptation Case-Studies now available for download
As a continuation of the EUROCONTROL Agency's Challenges of Growth work, this document reports the findings of a set of case-studies that examine the extent to which potential changes to the global climate may constrain ATM’s ability to meet an increasing demand for traffic.
The studies are accompanied by an additional commentary which provides EUROCONTROL’s analysis of their findings.

Challenges of Growth Environment Technical report now available for download
The report was prepared as part of the EUROCONTROL Agency's Challenges of Growth 2008 work, with the purpose of establishing the extent to which environmental constraints might affect the industry’s ability to meet an increasing demand for traffic in the short, medium and longer-term.

Historically, aviation’s biggest environmental issues have been associated with airports - noise and, increasingly local air quality.
However, there is an emerging view that aviation's single biggest environmental challenge is that of mitigating its effects on climate change.
Management of ATM operations is seen as one of the means by which aviation’s climate change and airport-related impacts could be reduced in the future. More efficient flight profiles, a fully optimised route network and more advanced noise abatement arrival and departure procedures should help to reduce noise, fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and flight times. After all, society wants both to travel and to minimise environmental impact.
If you care to read further, you will gain a better idea of what ATM in general, and EUROCONTROL in particular, can do to achieve these goals.
