The environment and eco-efficiency have been central to the Port of Valencia’s development strategy for some time. They formed the core issue of its Ecoports programme and the Sympic project (“Environmental Integration of Ports and Cities”) funded by the European LIFE programme. Completed in 2007, the project allowed Valencia and its partner cities, Toulon (France) and Livorno (Italy), to develop indicators to identify responsibilities and define a joint programme of environmental actions for the Port-city interface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another initiative was part of the <\/span>Climeport project (2009-2012)<\/a>, where a carbon footprint measuring tool was created in conjunction with the other Mediterranean ports involved in the project (Algeciras, Koper, Livorno, Marseilles, Piraeus). The method allowed four different carbon footprints to be calculated: the port’s overall footprint and the specific footprints of port activities, services, and facilities. The tool has also been used to draw up an action plan and define 30 best practices for these four categories. This project, like the previous one, also highlighted the importance of cooperation between different members of the port community for reducing environmental impacts, as was the case in Valencia between 2008 and 2012. <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, following the municipality’s request in 2019, the port of Valencia has been handling weekly reports of the air quality in the harbour. The port authority has also invested 3,6 million euros in a new environmental <\/span>network of sensors<\/a>, which have been operational since the end of 2020. The data can be consulted daily on the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition website.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
