Ports join hands to combat climate change and improve air quality

07-11-2008

The C40 World Ports Climate Conference in Rotterdam was successful according to the organisation. The 55 ports present endorsed in the closing session the World Ports Climate Declaration, in which they actively commit themselves to reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality. Under the umbrella of the International Association for Ports and Harbours (IAPH) now concrete measures will be prepared. In November a follow-up will take place in the port and city of Los Angeles.
