Abstract

Airports play an important role in economic growth and are essential hubs for connectivity and trade. With the growth of urban areas, air traffic is increasing consistently, marking the development of regions such as South-East Asia and others. Following cities, most of the major airports are situated in densely populated areas, next to rivers, in deltas and alongside coasts. Many of these urbanised areas are vulnerable to water extremes, which are increased by the effects of climate change, such as sea-level rise, higher temperatures and greater weather extremes. To protect vital infrastructure and ensure future service continuity for airport operations, it is necessary to develop resilience to such risks. Several airports have recognised the threat posed by floods and have started work on flood protection efforts. Some airports are seizing the opportunity to implement climate resilient airport planning. This paper presents one of these frontrunner airports: a whole-of-government adaptation pathway for Singapore Changi Airport.
