Organisational structure PIANC (The World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure) leads a partnership of nine international associations with interests in waterborne transport infrastructure and its operation/management. In addition to PIANC, the partners are:

- International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) - International Harbour Masters’ Association (IHMA) - International Maritime Pilots’ Association (IMPA) - Smart Freight Centre (SFC) - European Dredging Association (EuDA) - European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) - Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) - Inland Waterways International (IWI). Other organisations can register as 'supporters' of the Navigating a Changing Climate initiative. As of November 2019 we have 50 supporter organisations.

Description

Description A multi-stakeholder partnership of international associations working to develop and provide sector-specific technical and institutional resources to support the owners, operators and users of waterborne transport infrastructure as they respond to the challenges of climate change.
Objectives Raise awareness about the challenges associated with navigating a changing climate. Encourage a shift to low carbon infrastructure; urgent action to improve resilience and adapt; and integrated solutions including Working with Nature.
Activities The Navigating a Changing Climate Action Plan (downloadable at http://navclimate.pianc.org/about/action-plan) sets out a series of actions under four headings: raising awareness; shifting to low carbon infrastructure; strengthening resilience and adapting; and developing integrated solutions including Working with Nature.

Some of these actions are being promoted by a particular member of the coalition. For example, PIANC prepares and publishes technical guidance documents; IAPH runs the World Ports Sustainability Programme, of which climate change mitigation/energy and adaptation/resilience are important pillars; and the Smart Freight Centre is developing industry-specific carbon accounting methodologies. Other activities are carried out jointly, for example the organisation of an international conference on climate change mitigation and adaptation in 2017 (see http://navclimate.pianc.org/news/key-messages-from-navigating-a-changing-climate-conference) with follow up events planned for 2020-2021; and the development, by IMarEST, of a one-stop-shop website for the navigation infrastructure sector (http://navclimate.pianc.org). In addition to the partner associations (see http://navclimate.pianc.org/about/think-climate-coalition), organisations that support the objectives of the coalition can sign up as supporters (see http://navclimate.pianc.org/supporters). In November 2019, there are 50 supporter organisations registered.

One or two success stories achieved Launch of World Ports Sustainability Programme with workstreams on energy and on resilience (March 2018) - IAPH.

Publication of sector-specific guidance on carbon management (April 2019) and on climate change adaptation planning (due December 2019) - PIANC. Acceptance of port call optimisation as a means of reducing emissions from vessels, and agreement on harmonisation of port call data (2019) - IHMA.

Indicators
Goals The partnership is committed to promoting a shift to low carbon inland and maritime navigation infrastructure; to building capacity and enhancing decision-making on mitigation and adaptation options; and to raising awareness of the need to act urgently to improve preparedness and strengthen the resilience of waterborne transport infrastructure, with an emphasis on Working with Nature.

The Navigating a Changing Climate Action Plan (downloadable at http://navclimate.pianc.org/about/action-plan) sets out the roadmap for the initiative.

Comments on indicators and goals
How will goals be achieved The goals will be delivered via completion of a series of actions summarised in our Action Plan downloadable at http://navclimate.pianc.org/about/action-plan
Have you changed or strenghtened your goals No change to goals but some actions have been amended or added to as a result of a gap analysis
Progress towards the goals Since the initiative was started in 2015, four new partners have joined (now 9 partner associations) and 50 organisations have signed up as supporters. An international conference has been held and other events are planned for 2020 and 2021. A website has been developed and now provides regular sector-specific updates for the owners, operators and users of waterborne transport infrastructure. Various workshops have been held on mitigation and adaptation topics; and several industry-specific guidance documents or methodologies for carbon accounting and adaptation have been developed or are in progress.
How are you tracking progress of your initiative The Navigating a Changing Climate partners meet twice yearly to assess progress against the targets set out in the Action Plan. In addition to being documented internally, progress is reported through the Paris Process on Mobility and Climate (PPMC) facilitated by SLoCaT.
Available reporting Reports in the PPMC annual report, e.g.:
