Introduction and Purpose 5 ment, airports may be interested in learning about a single asset. In order to learn about a single asset or operation, staff can refer to the item of interest in the appendices of this guidebook, where a listing of possible climate stressors and adaptations for that asset is provided.

6Climate change adaptation planning is a multi-step process aimed at increasing the resilience of infrastructure and operations when confronted with the range of projected climate change impacts. The framework described below provides guidance on climate change adaptation from the early stakeholder identification process (see Chapter 3)
