Abstract
Climate change is reshaping maritime infrastructures and requires ports to move beyond isolated asset protection towards more integrated adaptation strategies. This paper examines how climate-change adaptation is operationalised in French commercial ports within the framework of PNACC 3 and the national warming trajectory for adaptation (TRACC). Drawing on recent feedback from Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Martinique, La Réunion and Dunkerque, it shows that ports face multiple interacting hazards, including sea-level rise, marine flooding, intense rainfall, runoff, heat and cyclonic hazards. Adaptation becomes operational through the combination of strategic, organisational and infrastructure-oriented approaches. The comparison highlights four recurrent pillars: multi-hazard diagnosis, combined physical and functional vulnerability, integration into asset management and long-term planning, and recognition of territorial interdependencies.
Abstract The intensification of climate change-related risks to port infrastructure presents an unprecedented challenge for global logistics systems, particularly in trade corridors linked to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Given the BRI's extensive reach and influence, this article examines how key ports along the...

Background: Maritime chokepoints have become critical sites where geopolitical conflict is converted into trade cost, delay, uncertainty and unequal supply-chain exposure. Purpose: This article develops and substantiates a Chokepoint-to-Resilience Transmission Framework explaining how conflict-related disruption around...

Flood risk in the Sahel has increased markedly over recent decades, driven by the intensification of hydro-climatic hazards and the rapid growth of exposure in urban and peri-urban areas. In this context, FEWSs (FEWSs) are increasingly recognized as a key component of climate services for disaster risk reduction, as em...

Maritime ports in Europe are undergoing significant decarbonisation, driven by initiatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals and IMO and EU regulations. Ports serve as important logistical hubs within the European Union’s transport system, given that over 70% of the EU’s external trade by weight is seaborne and...

Towns and cities across the world account for a high proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions while facing increasing risks such as flooding and overheating. Much of the focus to date has been on improving the sustainability performance of individual assets. While high-performing buildings and structures are vital...

The vulnerability of critical infrastructure and essential services to climate change is increasing worldwide, particularly in areas facing multiple threats, and a lack of resources and institutional capacity. In Balochistan, the province is subject to recurrent droughts and water scarcity, as well as a range of hazard...
