22 Thus far, the handbook has helped you to identify climate hazards, climate-related risks to your airport, and the management systems now in place that are best suited to address these risks. This chapter provides you with strategies for using existing management systems to manage those climate risks.

Take Action to Integrate Climate Risks 37 4.4.1 Climate Risk Management Overview There are six entry points for integrating climate risk into existing asset management processes, as shown in Figure 14. Not all entry points are necessary for any climate risk management to occur, but your airport can build on each entry point to successively increase the level to which you manage climate risks to infrastructure.
