| 摘要： | The IAPH's World Ports Sustainability Program (WPSP) aims to empower port community actors worldwide to engage with business, governmental, and societal stakeholders in creating sustainable added value for the local communities and wider regions in which their ports are embedded. The program catalogues 237 port projects applying UN Sustainable Development Goals in practice thanks to the submission of a total of 53 ports and collabo -rative projects in the past year, making it the most comprehensive database of port projects applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The diversity of project submissions has significantly improved with an influx of projects from other regions, notably Asia and Oceania. In the past year, the decision has beentakento expand the areas of interest from five to six. Four essential changes were made. First, projects in Climate and energy were split into two categories. All projects directly involving energy transition at ports were kept in Climate and energy, while other projects directly related to a positive impact on the ports' environment that also deal with externalities were allocated to the new Environmental care category. Second, resilient infrastructure projects were divided into two new categories. Infrastructure now contains all physical infrastructure projects with the emerging importance of port resilience, while Digitali-zation now incorporates all projects related to digital infrastructure, which has seen a significant increase in submissions by ports. Third, the topic of health has been added to the Safety and security category given the large increase in submissions by ports during the COVID-19 pandemic. And fourth, Community outreach now focuses exclusively on ports' role as community builders. |
