Environmental Capacity Workshop
SCAN-UK (which stands for the UK Sustainable Cities and Aviation Network)
is a network funded by EPSRC under the 'Sustainable Cities Programme' and
operated through two UK universities: Manchester Metropolitan University
and Loughborough University. As part of its activities, SCAN-UK hosts
workshops on topics of general interest to all engaged in the aviation
industry and its environmental impacts. At its last meeting the subject of
the next workshop was decided:
ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY: The Challenge for the Aviation Industry
A One Day Workshop on Wednesday 7 June 2000 at London Heathrow Airport
Cost: FREE (but places are limited)
Environmental capacity constraints are seen as being the most important
limits to airport growth. This one-day workshop will seek to identify and
discuss the key issues relating to this issue and will address the
following key questions:
• How is local and global environmental capacity defined?
• What action can the aviation industry take to increase its environmental
capacity?
