Abstract

Climate change presents substantial challenges for the aviation sector, particularly concerning the assessment and management of risks to airport infrastructure and operations. Effective climate risk assessment is crucial for implementing prioritized adaptation strategies that enhance airport resilience. This paper introduces an innovative matrix-based co-design approach to evaluate climate risks for airports, illustrated by a case study of Bologna Airport, located in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The matrix-based approach, distinguished by its integration of climate hazard, exposure and vulnerability data, proves to be both robust and replicable, especially when key stakeholders actively participate in the process. The approach offers a systematic framework for identifying and assessing climate risks, facilitating the development of effective adaptation strategies. The Bologna Airport case study highlights the approach’s practical application, demonstrating its effectiveness in risk assessment and its potential to guide decision-making for more resilient airport management. The findings underscore the importance of early and equitable preventive actions and support, making vulnerability analysis a critical component in developing effective adaptation strategies. This research advances resilience planning in the aviation sector and offers valuable insights for other airports facing similar climate challenges.

期刊介绍： The journal Climate Services publishes research with a focus on science-based and user-specific climate information underpinning climate services, ultimately to assist society to adapt to climate change. Climate Services brings science and practice closer together. The journal addresses both researchers in the field of climate service research, and stakeholders and practitioners interested in or already applying climate services. It serves as a means of communication, dialogue and exchange between researchers and stakeholders. Climate services pioneers novel research areas that directly refer to how climate information can be applied in methodologies and tools for adaptation to climate change. It publishes best practice examples, case studies as well as theories, methods and data analysis with a clear connection to climate services. The focus of the published work is often multi-disciplinary, case-specific, tailored to specific sectors and strongly application-oriented. To offer a suitable outlet for such studies, Climate Services journal introduced a new section in the research article type. The research article contains a classical scientific part as well as a section with easily understandable practical implications for policy makers and practitioners. The journal''s focus is on the use and usability of climate information for adaptation purposes underpinning climate services.
