چکیده انگلیسی


- Climate and environmental impacts of shipping a major concern for port cities.
- 55 ports agreed on actions through World Ports Climate Declaration.
- Limited progress through World Ports Climate Initiative.
- Potential for greater engagement with cities and transnational municipal networks.
- Five recommendations to strengthen WPCI and similar initiatives.

In 2008, 55 of the world's largest ports voluntarily adopted the World Ports Climate Declaration (WPCD) and the International Association of Ports and Harbours committed to long-term work on implementation through the World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI). This article assesses the work of WPCI since 2008 and makes five recommendations that, if implemented, could support efforts to reduce the climate and environmental impacts of port operations and international shipping. In particular, as the impetus for the WPCD came from a port city - Rotterdam - and their engagement with a transnational municipal network - the C40 Large Cities Climate Leadership Group - the paper considers the role of cities and transnational municipal networks in governance, and the potential for cities to play a more active and influential role in the maritime sector. The article presents an overview of literature on the role and function of transnational municipal networks, the background and development of the WPCD, analysis of the work of WPCI, and a discussion concerning the potential of cities and transnational municipal networks to support and add value to WPCI or similar initiatives in the maritime sector. This informs the conclusions and recommendations to marine policy-makers and port stakeholders.
