Report urges ports to prioritise climate impact
- Ports don’t have to be inherent biodiversity killers, instead they provide opportunities to improve things rather than simply do as little harm as possible
- Engineer briefs should have nature positivity at the centre of them, alongside safety and efficiency say researchers
- But greater data is required on the effectiveness of nature-first solutions to encourage greater adoption
Climate change is going to affect ports in the near future, but as well as futureproofing themselves, ports can aid in the fightback rather than simply doing their best not to hasten its onset
