Preventing and Mitigating the Effects of Climate Change

The Safe and Climate Resilient Ports (SAFARI)project is a European project under the Horizon Europe 2021–2027 research program. It involves various types of partners (port authorities, universities, associations, companies, etc.).

Project duration: May 1, 2024, to October 31, 2027

Total cost: €7,307,464.58 | EU contribution: €6,240,265.33
Source: EU Funding and Calls for Proposals Portal

The main objective of this initiative is to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change on port infrastructure, personnel, and their operations. By creating a digital platform, the consortium aims to enable ports to maintain 80% of their operations during periods of disruption.

AIVP’s Role in the Project

Why is AIVP a partner in the project?

AIVP: A Committed Partner for Resilient Ports

Committed for more than 30 years to the sustainable development of port areas, AIVP has chosen to partner with the European SAFARI project, as it is fully aligned with its strategic priorities. SAFARI aims to improve ports’ resilience to the growing impacts of climate change, in particular by developing a tool for managing extreme weather conditions in collaboration with ports and key partners such as urban communities and cities.

Participation in the project allows the AIVP to take concrete action on the challenges faced by the five member ports in its network. Through this project, the Association is strengthening its expertise alongside engineers, resilient planning specialists, and port sector professionals, focusing on key topics.

By actively participating in the project, AIVP has seized the opportunity to strengthen its commitment to more sustainable, innovative, and resilient port cities while making its expertise available to partners (benchmarking, mobilizing its member network, webinars).

AIVP is active in the following “Work Packages”:

WP1 (Overall Management):

Project Coordination

WP2 (Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation):

  • Benchmark providing a brief overview of the strategies and measures implemented by ports to address climate change over the past year
  • Implementation Plan aimed at disseminating the results to stakeholders involved in SAFARI and to partners beyond the scope of the project
  • Webinars
  • Connecting with experts from the AIVP network and SAFARI partners in the context of financing maritime innovation and infrastructure for the climate and the oceans

WP5 (Institutional Measures for Extreme Weather Events):

  • Analysis of United Nations Publications based on best practices for ports and port cities regarding resilience and climate change
  • Establishment of a governance framework for the port, incorporating best practices aimed at better managing climate risks and their impacts
  • Collaboration with climate experts to highlight how cities and ports can work together to build a resilient future for their region/structure
  • Analysis of Strategic Documents for crisis management, produced by ports and cities
