Celebrating World Environment Day on 5 June
To mark World Environment Day, AIVP invites you to read our White Paper on adapting to climate change, goal number one on the AIVP 2030 Agenda for cities and ports. Published last year, the white paper highlights the measures taken by AIVP members to adapt to climate change and the opinions of various experts on key actions to tackle this challenge.

San Diego: the port supports efforts to protect an endangered bird species
The port of San Diego(California, USA) is continuing to provide financial support for the protection of an endangered species of bird (Rallus obsoletus levipes). It has pledged to donate $180,000 over the next five years to the Living Coast Discovery Center, a not-for-profit zoo and aquarium. Studies of California’s marshes show that in 1980 and 1985, the species’ population fell to just 142 reproducing pairs. In 2016, partly thanks to captive breeding programmes, numbers peaked at 656 reproducing pairs. This commitment echoes a similar effort by the port of Quebec presented by its CEO, Mario Girard, at the Solution Hub held in Tangier on “New tools for protecting biodiversity in port cities”.
The White Paper on biodiversity protection is online!
In this white paper dedicated to the 10th objective of the AIVP Agenda 2030 "Protecting biodiversity", we highlight concrete solutions put in place by our members enabling the restoration and protection of terrestrial or aquatic biodiversity in cities and port regions. These initiatives show that, even if there is no miracle solution to preserve and restore the biodiversity of port cities, stakeholders in the industry are mobilising to tackle the problems. The AIVP is proud to highlight these fine initiatives on the occasion of the International Day of Biological Diversity which took place on this 22nd of May. We wish you a fruitful reading!
