Climate-positive ports
Ports are powerful leverage points for climate action
Ports sit at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, freight, investment, livelihoods, and communities. As maritime and freight systems evolve, ports around the world can help advance cleaner energy and transport, strengthen economic and climate resilience, and create lasting benefits for the communities and regions they serve.
HACC’s Climate-positive ports initiative brings together the people, expertise, and resources needed to help ports convert this opportunity into real projects, mobilized investment, emissions reductions, and community benefits.
A Collective built for action
HACC connects port practitioners with peers, partners, and specialized expertise to tackle shared challenges and move climate-positive solutions forward.
