A two-and-a-half-hour trip on the Thames, home to one of the UK’s largest ports and busiest inland waterway. Organised as part of London International Shipping Week.

We are delighted that the 2018 IHMA Congress will be held in the international maritime centre of London.

This will be the ‘must attend’ event of 2018 for all those with a responsibility for port and marine operations and the industry that supports them.

To help the integration of biodiversity into decision-making at the early stages in projects, the IBAT Alliance have developed the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT). IBAT is a high-level biodiversity screening tool that – among other applications - can be used at an early stage in a project to understand potential biodiversity risks and opportunities. It is an online data discovery, visualisation, and dissemination tool that provides users with unique single point access to the most authoritative global datasets on biodiversity and conservation. These include the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the World Database of Protected Areas, and Key Biodiversity Areas.

This webinar will give an overview of how to easily access these data for your projects including the terms and conditions for using these data.

The Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reduction Network project (LEARN) mobilizes business to reduce their carbon footprint across their global logistics supply chains through improved emissions calculation, assurance and reporting. LEARN project was created to help businesses measure their logistics emissions; have the opportunity to make informed decisions and lead to improved supply chain efficiencies.

It’s built on and sought to improve the ‘GLEC Framework for Logistics Emissions Methodologies’ that combines existing methods and fills gaps, making carbon accounting work for industry.

The impact of climate change on the oceans and marine environment poses major challenges. Researchers are sounding the alarm. Even with the most stringent emission reductions, global sea level will rise dramatically, disrupting life on land and in the seas. To meet what is probably the greatest challenge of this century, Belgium is organising the international conference Climate Change and Oceans Preservation in Brussels on Tuesday 19 February 2019. This conference will not only take stock of current issues but will also give countries, sectors and organizations the opportunity to sign the Brussels Declaration and thus reaffirm their commitment to future generations.
