| 摘要： | Climate-induced sea level rise is widely recognized as a challenge for ports and harbors around the world, especially with the increasing risk of floods and damage during natural disasters such as hurricanes and cyclones. As this threatens the lifelines within the global economy, it is often raised as a major concern. Besides existing ports, the implications for new ports and harbors also need to be considered. Global trade and the reguirement for port areas have expanded significantly over the past few decades. This could lead ports around the world, especially in the global south, to continuously extend their areas farther. To understand these important issues, we conducted an analysis examining four consistent and plausible global scenarios of sea level rise and changes in trade. Two scenarios are broadly consistent with a 2℃ global rise in temperature in 2100, while the other two are broadly consistent with a 4℃ global rise in temperature in 2100. |
