Event Description

Removing carbon emission from the atmosphere around airports is a key factor of success for regions and airports.

Europe is committed to reduce its carbon emissions by 20% by 2020. Reducing the carbon emissions at and nearby the airports is a contribution to this ambitious goal. After two years months of reflexion on the subject, 10 municipalities and airports are willing to discuss with you about the policy recommendation that they will put forward to EU Institutions and not only. Join in the discussion.

The event will address the issues of surface access to and from the airport, the reduction of the carbon emissions of the airport itself as well as innovation means.

The speakers:

Richard Tuffs – Director, ERRIN
Milda Manomaityte, Director, The Global AirRail Alliance
Ben Van Os - Province of Drenthe, Project Manager. GSA (Green Sustainable Airports)
Elzabeth Celsing, Head of Environmental Department, Stockholm Arlanda Airport Swedavia
