Anticipated increases in air transportation demand will place significant environmental pressures on various segments of the national airspace system. Current operational trends show that environmental impacts resulting from aircraft noise and aviation emissions will be the principal constraint on the capacity and flexibility of the NextGen unless managed and mitigated. Aviation impacts affect community noise footprints, local air quality, water quality, and the global climate.
The Environment WG is responsible for the NextGen strategy to develop environmental protection that allows sustained aviation growth. The WG research, develop, implement, and maintain the NextGen environmental protection strategy. Five WG Standing Committees (Science/Metrics, Analytical Tools, Operations, Technology, and Policy) have been formed. Based on technical expertise, the Standing Committees lead the work to achieve the goals of the JPDO environmental protection strategy including refining the understanding of problems and options for future solutions, assessing existing programs and plans, leveraging what is available, and identifying gaps and key questions for further research and development.
