The Transnational Cooperative Network of Adriatic-Ionian Sustainable and Low-Carbon Ports is about to be officially founded by the SUPAIR project. Initially composed by 3 business and research organizations and 7 ports of the Adriatic-Ionian region, the Network aims at promoting sustainable low carbon port practices among its members, strengthening the cooperation in the field of sustainable port development, environmental and energy management and low carbon solutions.
Specifically, the focus of the Network is the promotion of exchange of expertise on the following topics:
- implementing low-carbon port action plans during and beyond the SUPAIR project’s duration;
- environmentally friendly transport systems solutions related to port activities;
- improving transnational relationships between the signatory ports and stakeholders of the Adriatic-Ionian Region;
- increasing sustainability integration in the community and benefit socio-economically the contracted entities;
- stakeholder engagement on environmental issues.
The establishment of such Network will be formally sealed during the Mutual Learning Workshop “Smart ideas for sustainable and low-carbon ports” to be held in Trieste (Italy) on November 13th, 2019.
The Network is open to new interested ports, placed also outside the Adriatic-Ionian region, willing to embrace and replicate the SUPAIR approach and methodology.
