Airport Carbon Accreditation Collective engagement on Climate Change Olivier Jankovec, DG ACI EUROPE Sustainable Airport Environments – Frankfurt, 15 Sept 2009

OVERVIEW BACKGROUND CATALYST Why? FRAMEWORK & DESIGN What? STRUCTURE How? TIMELINE When? 2

BACKGROUND TRADITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Comprehensive, but exclusively local… Noise, air quality, water management, biodiversity… CLIMATE CHANGE: global impact Media and public attention / Changing societal requirements CC moving from science to active policy & regulation EUROPE (EU) AS WORLD LEADER EU & national binding targets for CO2 & related GHGs reductions EC Communication “The Greening of Transport” AIRPORT INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS LFV, AVINOR, MAG, Schiphol Group, Fraport, BAA, ADP, etc…

WHY? Climate change exposure AIRPORTS IMPACTED Directly: energy use, infrastructure & ground operations = up to 5% of global aviation emissions Indirectly: airlines RISKS Policy & Regulatory Financial Reputation & Brand LICENSE TO OPERATE & GROW Reconcile aviation growth & environmental objectives

WHY? Key drivers POLICY & REGULATORY OVERCOMING DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS CONNECT & INFLUENCE STAKEHOLDERS COLLECTIVE ACTION ACI WORLD Resolution on Climate Change (Nov 2007) ATAG Commitment on Climate Change (Apr 2008)

WHY? ACI-E Environmental Policy PROACTIVE & VISIONARY ACI-E SUPPORTED EU ETS (Jan 2005) Environmentally effective Economically efficient Politically deliverable… Towards a global system COMMITTED ACI-E/EUROCONTROL CDM ACTION PLAN (Nov 2008) 475.000 T CO2 saved ACI-E/EUROCONTROL/IATA/CANSO CDA PLAN (Apr 2009) 500.000 T CO2 saved AIRPORT CARBON ACCREDITATION Collective engagement from European airport industry

WHAT? Scheme framework ACI EUROPE RESOLUTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE 17th Annual Assembly, Paris (Jun 2008) “European airports joining forces to fight Climate Change” VISION: towards carbon neutrality “ACI EUROPE and its members commit to reduce carbon emissions from airport operations fully within their own control with the ultimate target to become carbon neutral.” TOOL: common framework to engage members “ACI EUROPE commits to establish and operate by June 2009 a European wide scheme allowing airports to follow a common framework for the measurement, reporting and reduction of their carbon emissions with the possibility of becoming carbon neutral”

WHAT? Key design elements CARBON (ENERGY) REDUCTION CO2 mandatory Other GHGs optional GHG PROTOCOL & ISO GUIDANCE FLEXIBILITY & NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL Scheme guidance material Airports set own targets, in agreement with administrator VERIFIED FOOTPRINTS AND REDUCTION PLANS CARBON NEUTRALITY: ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE Optional Certified offsets as last resort

WHAT? Inventory scope GHG REPORTING PROTOCOL Scope 1, 2 – CONTROL Scope 3 – GUIDE & INFLUENCE CARBON FOOTPRINT & MANAGEMENT PLAN: Scope 1 & 2 CARBON ENGAGEMENT PLAN: Scope 3 CARBON NEUTRALITY: only for SCOPE 1 & 2

WHAT ? Control, Guide, Influence Activities airports are directly responsible for  take measures themselves GUIDE: Activities which airports do not directly manage  steer partners towards joint measures INFLUENCE:  only an influencing role AIRSIDE Airport Location Airport Company LANDSIDE Control Guide Influence

HOW? Scheme structure VOLUNTARY CARBON ACCREDITATION SCHEME 3+ TIER PROGRAMME = Airport Carbon Accredited labels 1. FOOTPRINT: definition, assessment and verification = MAPPING LEVEL 2. MANAGEMENT PLAN (control) + FOOTPRINT REDUCTION = REDUCTION LEVEL 3. EXTENSION OF FOOTPRINT + ENGAGEMENT PLAN = OPTIMISATION LEVEL 3+. CARBON NEUTRALITY = NEUTRALITY LEVEL INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATION EXTERNAL RECOGNITION

HOW? Scheme structure (2) CARBON FOOTPRINT (emissions under direct airport Control) MANAGEMENT PLAN & REDUCTION TARGET (emissions under direct airport Control) ACHIEVEMENT OF AGREED TARGET (selected emissions within airport Guide and Influence) STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN (emissions within airport Guide and Influence) OFFSET RESIDUAL EMISSIONS 1 Measure  2 Reduce 3 Influence 3* Offset – Carbon Neutrality

HOW? Scheme structure (3) INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION Process in accordance with ISO 14064:3 requirements Footprint & Management Plans: GHG protocol and ISO 14064:1, ACA scheme requirements Independent from airport / not involved in development of maps & plans TARGETS: principle of “continuous improvement” Improvement on the average of past 3 years Level 2 (REDUCTION) / Level 3 (OPTIMISATION): set targets Absolute or Relative performance Encouraged to make targets public

HOW? External recognition INTERNATIONAL CARBON REPORTING PROTOCOLS WORLD BUSINESS COUNCIL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WORLD RESSOURCES INSTITUTE GOVERNANCE External administration: WSP Environmental Independent Advisory Board INSTITUTIONAL & GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT EUROCONTROL ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) EUROPEAN COMMISSION (DG Transport & Energy) UNEP (UN Environmental Program – DTIE) ENVIRONMENTAL NGO WWF

WHEN? Scheme timeline REQUIREMENTS & DESIGN: Oct 2007–Oct 2008 PILOTS & TESTS: Oct 2008–Jan 2009 Manchester, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Malta, Umea (LFV), Dubrovnik ADMINISTRATION: Mar–May 2009 BRAND & COMMUNICATIONS: Apr – May 2009 OFFICIAL LAUNCH: 16 Jun 2009 18th ACI EUROPE Annual Assembly & Congress (Manchester) +30 airports committed to participate (11 European countries) 26% of European passenger traffic FIRST ACCREDITATION: Frankfurt, 14 Sep 2009
