Abstract

Ports play a critical role in global commerce, acting as vital nodes in the supply chain for goods and services. However, their strategic coastal locations make them particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events, intensified nowadays by climate change. In Europe, where ports are integral to economic stability and regional connectivity, the need for robust vulnerability analysis and resilience planning has become a pressing concern. This paper explores the first steps in the process of establishing the practical application of a combined framework for assessing port vulnerabilities and developing recovery plans to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events on port operations. The study focuses on the European ports considered in the research project Safe and Climate Resilient Ports (SAFARI). The historical weather analysis shows that the SAFARI project ports are subject to an increasing risk of flooding and heatwaves. The definition of port functions, associated stakeholders and infrastructure together with their vulnerability to these events is conducted as a starting point to develop port recovery plans as part of port resilience capabilities.
