CONTROLLING THE EFFECTS OF OUR ACTIVITIES ON LOCAL RESIDENTS' LIVING ENVIRONMENT 6 1.2

Listening and committing together for tomorrow's challenges

struction work on the third runway at Paris-Orly was encompassed by a complete communication campaign: 18 public meetings, 30 meetings with elected officials, 3 site visits, 1 toll-free number, 1 newsletter distributed to 587,000 local residents and 1 brochure; • Four "Rencontres d'Orly" were held in 2019 with the aim of including the development of the Orly-Rungis hub in the co-construction process. Spearheaded by the Essonne and Val-de-Marne departmental councils, in close liaison with Groupe ADP, they brought together nearly 400 local stakeholders around three themes: the environment, mobility and employment. The conclusions were used as input for a partnership development project (PPA) signed on 28 February 2020 by all stakeholders in Grand Orly. For our part, we are committed to working with companies on noise reduction and supporting local authorities to formalise territorial manpower planning. 2019, the inhabitants of 480 communes and 7 departments concerned were invited to speak. 85 meetings and debates brought together over 6,000 participants and collected 613 contributions . At the same time, over 2,000 citizen contributions and 141 institutional contributions were submitted online . These three months of debate allowed the participants to express their concerns. In response, we have made

We draw inspiration from our multiple initiatives in the Paris region to enact the same approach internationally, as Developing connections with local communities is an objective that all our airports share . For example, the Mauritius airport has initiated 40 welcome and visit initiatives for students and elderly people. In Madagascar, meetings in a fun setting have facilitated dialogue and information sharing with local authorities

We are also rolling out a variety of mechanisms to gather and respond to regional concerns:

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND

• The territorial delegations of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and

Paris-Orly are working in partnership with socio-economic stakeholders and associations, neighbouring municipalities, consular chambers and State services to roll out our territorial strategy. They focus on regular contact with the 50 municipalities closest to and most exposed to the noise caused by the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly Airports; • Consultations held during our major development projects to listen to and give a voice to the populations affected and to engage with them throughout construction. The con-

According to the European Environment Agency 7 , nearly 4 million Europeans are exposed to air traffic noise in excess of 55 decibels. According to the noise pollution maps at the Paris airports, 420,200 residents in the region, or approximately 3.6% of the regional population, are affected. Bruitparif 8 therefore says that air traffic is the second-largest cause of noise pollution after road traffic. Noise control is an even more important issue for our airports because they are located at the heart of densely populated local regions, making them the focus of disturbances linked to air and road traffic. Our responsibility is therefore to work with the airlines and with elected officials and local residents to handle this problem completely transparently.

OUR COMMITMENTS

and community representatives.

Given this context, we have committed to taking action to:

measure and monitor aircraft noise in and around our airports; transparently inform and consult with local residents continuously; limit disturbances at the source by optimising aircraft flight paths, complying with night-time slots and reducing ground movements; reduce the impact of noise on local residents by soundproofing homes located within the perimeter of the noise pollution maps provided for by law.

PARIS-CHARLES DE GAULLE AND TERMINAL 4 DEVELOPMENT PROJECT: A VOLUNTARY CONSULTATION 5

INDICATORS & RESULTS 2019

29 commitments on noise and pollution control, information on air quality, climate impact, biodiversity, accessibility, employment and training, economic development, etc. However, this is just the beginning of the dialogue process: this project will be subject to an impact study and a public inquiry before inter-prefectural environmental authorisation. It will continue

We organised the consultation process prior to the Paris- Charles de Gaulle and Terminal 4 development project under the watchful eye of the National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP). This procedure was not mandatory. However, we were keen to share the meaning and measures of this project with the local regions concerned . We did so in complete transparency, making sure to address the impacts of this new terminal. Between February and May
