Ports prepare for climate change risks

[ November 24, 2025   //   ]

The Resilience4Ports group, led by the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) and supported by Arup, UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, Lloyd’s Register and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, unveiled A Port Decision Makers Guide to Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) at the COP30 in November. It offers practical guidance to understand and implement Climate Risk Assessments for issues such as rising sea levels, flooding, extreme wind or temperatures. The tool covers physical assets, as well as digital systems crucial to port functionality, taking a holistic view of the entire port ecosystem. According to analysis by the Environmental Defense Fund, climate-related port disruptions cost the global economy $7-10 billion annually, with projections suggesting this could rise to $25-30 billion by 2100 without adequate adaptation measures.
