JPAC Public Forum on the Role of Ports in Fighting Climate Change: “Moving the needle toward industry decarbonization”
December 1, 2022 Public
As points of intersection between land and sea, ports are vital, strategic infrastructures playing a key role in supporting local and global economies and handling around 80% of global trade. From vessels to trains, trucks, cranes, fuel supply systems, and renewable energy, ports are ecosystems in themselves in which a multitude of actors are involved. At the same time, the convergence of activities at ports comes with several negative environmental impacts to air, water, land and the surrounding communities, many of which are already subject to multiple sources of pollution. This connector role, as well as their impacts on the environment and the communities in which they operate, place ports in a unique position to act as decarbonization hubs, support energy transition, and contribute to improving environmental conditions in local communities.
