We thus seek to develop a more consolidated approach to linking social innovation and climate adaptation, suggesting that the scholarly and practical roots of the social innovation literature can be useful in developing better understanding about how to shift the limits to climate adaptation. Specifically, we foreground three themes salient to climate adaptation. First, rather than focus on one of the sectors, much is to be gained by identifying and using the complementary competencies of state, market, and civil society. Second, social innovation foregrounds the need for change at multiple scales, requiring more careful attention to the opportunities and constraints emanating from macro-level institutional structures. And third, social innovation scholarship points to the potentially far-reaching social changes that may be catalysed by market actors, but there is a need to complement this with a democratic perspective that foregrounds the diffusion of power and agency — in line with transformative adaptation priorities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101491"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142652194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their operations contribute significantly to global emissions, producing greenhouse gases like CO<sub>2</sub> and pollutants such as nitrogen oxide. Mitigating that impact requires integrating green technologies and goals as well as exploiting renewable energy sources into terminal planning and decision support systems. Optimization techniques are key for driving terminals into this green transformation. In recent years, there has been a relevant increase in research and attention to greening ports. This growing interest includes the development of effective strategies and optimization approaches to reduce the terminal’s environmental impact. This systematic literature review examines relevant studies in optimization and greening terminals from the past two years, highlighting examples such as implementing microgrids, cold ironing, autonomous electric vehicles, retrofitting yard machinery, or promoting truck platooning. We propose a research agenda to guide future efforts in this direction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101490"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These ports play an important role in the region’s economy, but they are invariably located in coastal areas with rich natural resources that provide other ecosystem-based societal benefits. Progress has been made towards greater port sustainability in the region in recent years, but there is an urgent need to accelerate regional sustainable efforts. In response, the Nairobi Convention Secretariat initiated the development of a ‘<em>Toolkit for Sustainable Port Development</em>’<em>.</em> This was rooted in an Integrated Port Management (IPM) framework comprising four key phases: planning, design, construction, and operations. A systematic and incremental approach is recommended for implementation, first adopting the IPM framework and then applying eco-friendly technologies and practices based on place-based priorities to reduce environmental impacts and unacceptable socio-economic consequences. This will contribute significantly to sustainable port development in the WIO region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101489"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These three practices have been found to lead to reproductions of vulnerabilities, unsustainable outcomes, or ephemeral changes. New ways of conceptualising and doing adaptation are necessary to expand imaginaries and visions around what adaptation can and cannot be. Through two examples (everyday adaptations and nature-based solutions), our review indicates that expanding or adopting alternative imaginaries of adaptation can help localise adaptation practice, particularly by acknowledging the need for multiple forms of knowledge and the iterative nature of adaptation governance processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 101476"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877343524000630/pdfft?md5=c5534fd9a27a7f4f06d04a4bf32a327e&pid=1-s2.0-S1877343524000630-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
