Environment Awareness

Introduction

It is noticeable that concerns about man’s impact on the environment are now frequently in the news. Such impacts range from the very local effects of noise in the workplace to the global issue of climate change. The environment is also a big political issue and the subject of action at both the national and international level.

Like every other sphere of industry, the civil aviation sector faces calls to reduce its own environmental impact, whether it is noise around airports or the contribution of engine emissions to changes in the atmosphere. This is why the civil aviation community has made the environment a high priority and is devoting much effort in this area. Although most aviation organisations now have staff with specific environmental responsibilities, it is still essential that all those working in the sector are aware of environmental issues and what is being done to address them.

This training course therefore seeks to give an easy introduction to the general subject of the environment and to the specific environmental issues for civil aviation, without going into technical or policy detail. It is intended for all members of the civil aviation community, irrespective of their role or organisation, so that they might understand why this is a subject that everyone should know about.
