Article centers on trade relations and its effects on different ports. It mentions west coast ports dominating US ports in volume, but other ports are continuing to grow. Talk of investment now for the future. This article is pre COVID, so it's interesting to see the ideas before the effects of the pandemic were realized.

Article takes a look a worldwide effects of rising sea levels. There seems to be a more drastic effect likely in areas in Northern Sea areas, but all ports to be affected, and since 80% of commerice is shipped, the areas serviced by the ports will be affected.

Interesting thesis about climate change and ports. The paper discusses the importance of ports to world trade and national security (specificallyf or the US). The US military has recently become more of an expeditionary force rather than occupational, subsequently ports are becoming more important. However, impending climate change threatens the port operations and infrastructure that need to be understood.

The article discusses emissions at ports around the world and focuses on a measurement of a port's affects on the environment through a measurement called Port Environmental Index (PEI). The PEI consists of standards that will allow the tracking of emissions and effects on the environment for the port over time. The internet of things (IOT) will allow real time monitoring.

THis is an extensive look at seaports and anticipated changes in coming years leading up to 2050. One big factor it mentions is that existing ports will need more space due to increased volumes and climate change factors. More space has to be considered in planning. With more space for the ports to operate, more is likely displaced and that will have an effect on surrounding communities.

A bit of a summary of possible climate change effects. The only certainty seems to be that there will be change, but the severity is still unclear. Work being done today to reduce emissions should help, but to what extent is not necessarily clear. It notes concern for the potential collapse of teh Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which could change things quickly. Still, the uncertainty is what's most concerning, and people need to be ready for different possible outcomes

Article explains that even though 'greener" decisions are being made, the increase in wealth and subsequent demand negates most green efforts just due to volume. For example, we make more fuel efficient cars than we did 20 or 30 years ago, but we are producing 2x as many

The article talks about religon in the next 30 years. Most all major religons will grow. There will also be growth in the number of people who don't idenitfy with any religon. Islam seems to be the religon with fastest growth, while Christianity will see the highest concenrtration outside of the US where we see most christians today.

The current problems at the sea ports warrants an even closer look at what's happeining. An article from the Sierra club identifies how ports harm the environment with diesel freighters and equipment. The article is a call to address these matters sooner than later. It also mentions that the port communities are suffering due to exposure to the emissions from operations and that often these communities are lower income families.

Article reviews how supply chain problems are more than bottlenecks at that ports. Lack of truck drivers and availalbility of rail contribute to delays. The article mentions a lot of things that need to be addressed before commerce flows like it once was. A key takeawy is the interconnectivity of ports with other elements of the entire transportation and supply distribution system.

An article about emergining issues in ports. This doesn't touch on current problems related to back ups from COVID, but it identifies several other issues such as international considerations, environmental, port scalability, governance and volatility of demand. Interesting in that it touches on so many issues. While so many articles focus on climate change this touches on other areas such as port governance.
