While ports are naturally exposed to climate-related hazards such as storm surge or sea level rise, the level of exposure differs significantly from location to location, and the degree of vulnerability depends heavily on infrastructure design and specifications.

Such an assessment is the starting point to take advantage of the triple dividend that climate resilience can deliver.
