How can we adapt the major challenges of sustainable development to the realities of port cities? To address this question, the AIVP has developed the 2030 Agenda, a guiding framework that translates international ambitions into concrete actions at the city-port level.
Adopted in 2015 by all United Nations member states, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development sets out a universal roadmap for building a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient world.

But they are also hubs of innovation, capable of testing concrete solutions that can be replicated on a large scale.
Our goal is clear: to support city and port stakeholders in implementing sustainable, concrete, and measurable projects.
The AIVP 2030 Agenda is thus an operational tool designed to support
regions committed to the transition, aligned with several Sustainable Development Goals, and ensuring consistency with global challenges.
