As key links in transportation and supply chains, the effect of
climate change on seaports has broad implications for the
development prospects of the global economy. However, the picture
is very uncertain because the impacts of climate change will be
felt very differently around the world, both positively and
negatively. This book addresses the need for quality theoretical
analysis, highly innovative assessment methodologies, and
insightful empirical global experiences so as to identify the best
international practices, planning and appropriate policies to
effectively adapt to, develop resilience, and indeed benefit from,
the impacts posed by climate change on transportation and supply
chains. This book comprises of theories, methodologies and case
studies from five continents (Asia, Europe, Latin America, North
America, and Oceania) addressing climate change and the adaptation
planning of ports and transportation infrastructures. With
reputable contributors from academic, policymaking and professional
sectors, it critically analyses the recent attempts by ports in
establishing adaptation plans and strategies so to enhance ports
and other transportation infrastructures' resilience to the climate
change risks. This is the first book of its kind to focus on
climate change adaptation for ports. It offers useful and
comprehensive guidance to senior policymakers, industrial
practitioners and researchers who are eager to understand the
dynamics between climate change, adaptation planning of ports and
transportation infrastructures.
