Aviation and the Impacts of Climate Change ∙ Maintaining Aviation Safety: Regulatory Responses to Intensifying Weather Events
Climate change is likely to lead to a higher incidence of extreme weather events, and may change the regional distribution of those events.

New meteorological services will be needed, and regulators may consider new, risk-based approaches to safety that impact stakeholders ranging from manufacturers to consumers.
