IAPH Tool Box for Port Clean Air Programs • Web-based planning guide for port clean air programs • No one-size-fits-all approach • Measures for each of major emission sources • Measures & tools readily available, including application cases and pros/cons IAPH
On-Shore Power Supply • Ship emission controls by MARPOL Annex VI entering into force in 2005 and revised in 2008. • Shut down ship engines completely while at berth • In 2007, IAPH set up WG for international technical standard of AMP with ISO • In 2009, IEC & ISO adopted PAS for HVSC IAPH

WPCI Projects in progress • Carbon footprinting • IAPH Tool Box Ver. 2 • Cargo-handling equipment • Onshore power supply • Lease agreement template • Intermodal transport • Environment Ship Index IAPH
Port Climate Action=Integrated approach= • Not single-source oriented • Inventory emissions of all port-related activities • Develop effective program with best mix of measures • Involve all stakeholders • Set up targets of climate action • Make public know progress/achievements IAPH
Port Climate Action=Sustainable approach= • Take immediate action but with long-term approach • Build in a mechanism for self-development • Rather than penalties, provide benefits to participants of climate initiatives • Plan measures to run in a business-oriented way IAPH
Port Climate Action=Innovative approach= • Introduce a variety of forms of new incentives to climate action participants • Promote new technology through joint-project, offering testing sites, etc. • Combining separate climate measures strategically IAPH
Prepare for Climate Change Impacts - adaptation action • Mitigation alone is not sufficient, ports must prepare for impacts of climate change-Adaptation • IAPH Port Planning & Development Committee tasked to study adaptation measures for ports • Joint survey with US Stanford University on how ports see climate change as risk and how they prepare for.
