Implementing sustainable development in port-cities

Implementing sustainable development in port-cities
Implementing sustainable development in port-cities
Sustainable development in port-cities is a key area of priority if the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are to be achieved, and the worst-case scenarios for climate change avoided. This research paper presents the findings of two 4-year research projects relating to port-cities and shipping, which are the port-cities of the future project undertaken by Ramboll and the University of Southampton, and the EU Horizon 2020 funded EMERGE research project. This produced 5 recommendations for implementing sustainable development in port-cities. These are to increase port and city cooperation, implement the circular economy, increase adoption of renewable energy, reduce pollution, and increase the social benefits created by the port for the city. These recommendations contribute to the sustainable development goals and help address the unique challenges faced by port-cities.

Abstract

Sustainable development in port-cities is a key area of priority if the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are to be achieved, and the worst-case scenarios for climate change avoided. This research paper presents the findings of two 4-year research projects relating to port-cities and shipping, which are the port-cities of the future project undertaken by Ramboll and the University of Southampton, and the EU Horizon 2020 funded EMERGE research project. This produced 5 recommendations for implementing sustainable development in port-cities. These are to increase port and city cooperation, implement the circular economy, increase adoption of renewable energy, reduce pollution, and increase the social benefits created by the port for the city. These recommendations contribute to the sustainable development goals and help address the unique challenges faced by port-cities.
