Following the themes of the ESPO Green Guide \u2013 Exemplify, Enable, Engage, Encourage and Enforce, each session will start with two plenary keynote speeches; an overview and a state of play presentation. The session will then breakdown into three working groups which will involve all sectors of the port community: port authorities, port users (terminal operators, logistics companies, shippers, shipping lines etc) and suppliers of equipment and services to the port community. The findings of each group will then be presented by the group moderators to the rest of the audience in a plenary session.<\/p>\n
The four main topics to be covered at the 8th GreenPort congress are:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Air quality management in Ports
\u2022 Waste and materials management in port areas
\u2022 Managing the direct impact on the local community
\u2022 Environmental reporting and communication<\/p>\n
