The Environment – Important to Canadians
• The environment the “number one” issue for Canadians (Harris-Decima, October 2007)
• 91% of Canadians believe they should “do their part” to fight global warming (Ipsos-Reid, July 2007)
• 78% believe Canadian industry doing “only fair” or “poor” job addressing environment issues (Environics, April 2007)
• 78% believe federal government doing “only fair” or “poor” job addressing environment issues (Environics, April 2007)

Worldwide public opinion
“Climate change biggest or second biggest concern”• Canadians: 31% (up 18 points in six months)
• Swiss: 36%• Japanese: 22%• Indians: 19%• Mexicans: 19%• British: 15%• Americans: 13% (up 7 points in six months)• Chinese: 9%

Industry Acknowledgement
“We know we contribute to climate
change, and that we need to do
something about it.”

ACI Policy on Climate Change
A. Address aviation climate change impacts on a global levelB. A long-term strategy to reduce emissions per an ICAO roadmap,
with measured objectives to be reached by 2050 C. Global CO2 emissions trading – not capacity constraints, taxation
or charges
D. Measures and timeframe for addressing NOX and contrails/cirrus
once their impact is better understoodE. Airports to continue to take action on emissions within their direct
control, including technology development and design strategies
Adopted November 2006

Canadian Context
• Population 33 million• Second largest landmass in the world• Great distances between communities• 10 major international airports, 300 smaller
airports
Canada is a large, sparsely populated country…

Environmental Issues:More than just emissions

Environmental Issues:More than just emissions
Efforts to shorten flight paths through early turns upon
takeoff, which reduces fuel and emissions, must be
reconciled with community perceptions of increased
aircraft noise
Noise

Environmental Issues:More than just emissions
Construction Practices
As part of the construction at Toronto Pearson Airport, 450,000 tons of concrete rubble
was crushed and used it for road base materials
in the preparation of new aprons.

Environmental Issues:More than just emissions
Waste Disposal/Recycling
Vancouver International Airport in 2006 recycled:
- 29% of airport terminal waste - 24% of satellite site waste
- 91% of material from construction projects
21
Environmental Issues:More than just emissions
Hazardous Materials
Through new equipment installed at Victoria Airport, 50% less glycol is used in de-icing
operations
22
Environmental Issues:More than just aircraft emissions
Airport Energy Consumption
Aéroports de Montréal between 1995 and 2006: reduced CO2 emissions equivalent to 1,100 cars through energy efficient building improvements, switching to LED light bulbs and new airport
shuttles

Vision
“We believe that in the future, people will continue to be happy to fly, that aviation will not harm the
environment and that the aviation industry will be able to grow profitably”
