Ports are vital hubs for global trade, handling over 11 billion tons of goods annually and supporting millions of jobs worldwide. Yet, they face growing challenges in balancing efficiency, climate resilience, and sustainability.
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), combined with traditional engineering, offer a promising way forward – integrating natural processes into port planning, design, and operations to build resilience and sustainable outcomes.
Co-hosted by GFDRR and EcoShape, this event will present a new publication on NBS for port resilience, share practical lessons from global projects, and discuss opportunities, challenges, and enabling conditions for integrating NBS into port development. Experts from EcoShape, The World Bank, and country port management teams will join the discussion.
Don’t miss this chance to learn how Nature-Based Solutions can strengthen ports, reduce costs, and deliver lasting impact!
