In the past decade we have witnessed the fragility of global supply chains to numerous disruptions, from geopolitical instability and extreme weather to worker shortages and technology failures. The disruptions have had widespread impacts on the global economy - and on businesses and communities. While the maritime sector is making great strides towards a decarbonised future, we must also focus efforts on reducing vulnerability to these increasingly frequent disruptions. Enhancing the resilience of ports is a fundamental need that will unlock value for all beneficiaries of the global maritime sector: from businesses, shipping and supply chain actors to local governments and local communities.

Resilience Rising and Arup, in partnership with the Climate Champions Team, Lloyd’s Register Group and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, invite you or a designated colleague to join a select group of critical maritime stakeholders in a closed-door roundtable to learn more about and shape the priorities of the Resilience4Ports Innovation Lab (R4P). R4P is an exciting global effort led by Resilience Rising that aims to build the resilience of ports, surrounding communities, coastal ecosystems and connected supply chains to the shocks and stresses of an uncertain future.

Resilience4Ports is a leading effort in the global maritime sector to advance the 2030 Adaptation and Resilience Breakthrough targets of the Sharm el-Sheikh Adaptation Agenda launched at COP27 in November 2022. Through the establishment of a global community of practice, with access to clear guidance and implementation tools, the initiative will facilitate the mainstreaming of resilience into port value chain decision-making and action.
