Three films showcase innovative community-led solutions to challenges that will resonate with other communities around the world”with a focus on wildfire, sea level rise, and the global pandemic.
The multiple drivers of change currently facing ports require a whole-systems approach before low-carbon, resilient ports transformations can be realised says a new report from The Resilience Shift. “This is the right time to catalyse the urgent action that needs to be taken by the whole ports-value chain to transform ports into low-carbon, resilient gateways”.
As the Resilience4Ports phase one report is launched, on the resilience of the ports ecosystem, we talk to project leader and maritime engineer, Mark Button, about the experiences and motivations that led him to create the project and why he believes resilience is the unifying theme that can unite multiple agendas facing ports
This primer introduces the elementary principles of resilience relevant to the ports sector and is part of a body of knowledge intended to help those responsible for the financing, planning, design, delivery, operation and maintenance of critical infrastructure systems.
