Formal working partnership arrangements between ANSP, Airport and Aircraft Operators will be established at individual airports to address and assess the environmental challenges at and around the vicinity of the airport that are a significant constraining factor to efficient and sustainable operations. Topics can include but are not limited to:
- the minimisation of noise and atmospheric emissions in particular CO2 and NOx (including fuel burn);
- introduction of new operational changes such as airspace design, different approach or departure procedures including CDO and PBN implementation, new airport infrastructure compliance with airport related legislation and environmental certification requirements and
- the management of aircraft and airfield de-icing resulting from combined aircraft operations at the terminal airspace and ground.

These formal working arrangements will enable a greater understanding and awareness of interdependencies and facilitate jointly agreed solutions for environmental improvements that can benefit joint operations and local community engagement.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.

NOTE: A CEM Online tool is available at the link below with the purpose of providing a common platform to assist key operational stakeholders at airports in setting up a CEM Working Arrangement and to demonstrate compliance with the CEM Specification's Requirements:
