PIANC USA Webinar: Climate Change Costs to Ports and Waterways

PIANC USA hosts Dr. Jeremy Giovando to discuss findings from PIANC Permanent Task Group on Climate Change Technical Note 2: Climate Change Costs to Ports and Waterways (Scoping the Business Case Assessment for Investment in Adaptation).
Climate change is a major business risk. Failing to address that risk can be costly. Yet recent industry surveys confirm that relatively few port and waterway operators have taken the urgent action needed to strengthen resilience and adapt.
As the climate changes, port and waterway assets and operations are increasingly exposed to changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea level. They also face more frequent atypical or extreme hydrometeorological and oceanographic events.
Learn about existing drivers to strengthen resilience and how potential costs and benefits can be identified and quantified to support the case for investment. Dr. Giovando covers the triple dividend, loss-avoidance, and financial, insurance, and regulatory considerations, including those of climate-related risk disclosure.
There has never been a better time to reconsider your climate preparedness and make the necessary investments to protect your critical port and waterway assets. Learn more through this webinar, and read the full report at www.pianc.org/....
