Ports and Climate Change: How to Adapt and Prepare for Climate Change Related Risks
Climate change is already exposing ports to more extreme weather occurrences and these can cause millions in damage in repair and downtime, in addition to risking worker safety.
Ports are particularly vulnerable, and there are many direct and indirect ways their operations are affected by the changes. In the long-term, these risks will multiply – impacting operational efficiency, business viability, and the reputation of ports. Today, ports are taking note of climate change, but many are still deciding what to do about it.
In this webinar, hosted by Port Technology, maritime and port professionals discuss how ports could adapt their operations to avoid weather-related problems before they happen and how to mitigate the effects of unavoidable events using smart technology.
- Why regular assessment of risks in relation to climate experience across the full breadth of port operations, together with developing mitigating actions, controls, and continuity plans, is important
- What real-time localized and actionable weather intelligence can do to help ports optimize their just-in-time operations, enhance safety, and confidently manage the risks related to extreme weather
- How automated terminals and port operations can help to improve the sustainability of operations, increase operational productivity and safety and enhance adaptation to climate change impacts
- How climate change adaption is being addressed in EU legislation and in funding mechanisms
