Abstract

The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region is experiencing rapid growth in large-scale developments, including ports. These ports play an important role in the region’s economy, but they are invariably located in coastal areas with rich natural resources that provide other ecosystem-based societal benefits. Progress has been made towards greater port sustainability in the region in recent years, but there is an urgent need to accelerate regional sustainable efforts. In response, the Nairobi Convention Secretariat initiated the development of a ‘Toolkit for Sustainable Port Development. This was rooted in an Integrated Port Management (IPM) framework comprising four key phases: planning, design, construction, and operations. A systematic and incremental approach is recommended for implementation, first adopting the IPM framework and then applying eco-friendly technologies and practices based on place-based priorities to reduce environmental impacts and unacceptable socio-economic consequences. This will contribute significantly to sustainable port development in the WIO region.

推动西印度洋地区港口的可持续发展
西印度洋 (WIO) 地区的大规模开发项目(包括港口)正在快速增长。这些港口在该地区的经济中发挥着重要作用,但它们无一例外地位于拥有丰富自然资源的沿海地区,而这些自然资源可提供其他基于生态系统的社会效益。近年来,该地区在提高港口可持续性方面取得了进展,但迫切需要加快区域可持续努力。为此,内罗毕公约秘书处启动了 "港口可持续发展工具包 "的开发工作。该工具包以港口综合管理 (IPM) 框架为基础,包括四个关键阶段:规划、设计、建设和运营。建议采用系统和渐进的方法来实施,首先采用综合港口管理框架,然后根据当地的优先事项应用生态友好型技术和做法,以减少对环境的影响和不可接受的社会经济后果。这将极大地促进世界港口组织地区港口的可持续发展。
