在舊金山召開的全球氣候行動峰會（Global Climate Action Summit）上，包括洛杉磯港、長灘港在內的七家港口港務局宣布成立減排聯盟。
七家港務局聯合起草了一份名為《全球港口氣候行動計劃》（World Ports Climate Action Program）的提案，以抵御全球變暖。
該計劃由鹿特丹港務局局長兼CEO Allard Castelein于周四在舊金山召開的全球氣候行動峰會（Global Climate Action Summit）上宣布。
在峰會上，Castelein告訴聽眾們，航運活動、港口活動制造了“大量溫室氣體。你可以把這些溫室氣體的排放量和德國一個國家的排放概況做一個對比。因此鹿特丹港必須采取行動。”
他表示鹿特丹港務局已經與長灘、洛杉磯、溫哥華、漢堡、安特衛普、巴塞羅那六地的港務局成立“意愿聯盟”以減少溫室氣體排放。
他表示聯盟將致力于：
提升供應鏈數據科技應用效率；船舶在港時，增加使用可再生能源驅動船舶；使用可再生能源為貨物裝卸設備供電；船舶燃油脫碳化。
鹿特丹港表示去年“荷蘭二氧化碳排放量中有大約18%來自鹿特丹港”。
Castelein表示該港口正在投資能效提高、碳捕捉技術與循環經濟方案。
荷蘭環境大臣Stientje van Veldhoven向與會者表示荷蘭有志于在2030年完成減排目標，在2030年前關閉數所燃煤發電站。她表示荷蘭正在籌建世界最大的海上風電場，此外，到2030年，荷蘭將使用零排放原料供能。
她還表示世界人口預計突破100億，“要想戰勝氣候變暖，我們不止要考慮能源問題，還要處理資源問題。”
她表示荷蘭力爭在2030年資源消耗減半。
“我們希望到2050年荷蘭能成為循環經濟體，資源可重復利用的零浪費經濟體——我們利用舊的混凝土制造新的混凝土，利用舊塑料生產新塑料。”
Ports unite to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Creation of coalition of seven ports authorities, including those in Los Angeles and Long Beach, announced at Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.
Seven port authorities have joined together in an initiative called the World Ports Climate Action Program that seeks to address global warming.
The program was announced Thursday by Allard Castelein, the president and chief executive officer of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.
Shipping and port activites generate “a significant amount of greenhouse gases. You could compare the emissions to the emission profile of a country like Germany,” Castelein told the audience at the summit. “So the Port of Rotterdam has decided to take action.”
He said his agency along with port authorities in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Hamburg, Antwerp and Barcelona have created a “coalition of the willing” to reduce greenhouse gases.
He said the coalition will focus on:
? Increasing the efficiency of supply chains using data technology;
? Increasing the use of renewable energy to power ships when they are in port;
? Powering cargo-handling equipment with renewable energy;
? And decarbonizing ship fuels.
The port said last year that “around 18 percent of the Dutch CO2 emissions are generated by the Port of Rotterdam.”
Castelein said the port is investing in increasing energy efficiency, carbon capture and circular economy initiatives.
Stientje van Veldhoven, the Dutch minister for the environment, told the conference that the Netherlands has a goal to reduce greenhouse gases by 2030 and plans to close down coal-fired power plants before 2030. She said the country is building the world’s largest offshore wind farm and that by 2030 new power will be created from zero-emission sources.
She also noted with the world population headed toward 10 billion people, “when we want to conquer climate change, we need to look beyond the energy question and address resources.”
She said the Netherlands has committed to halving resource use by 2030.
“We want to be a completely circular economy by 2050, a no-waste economy ... that reuses — making new concrete from old concrete, new plastic from old plastic.”
