Record number of entries for IAPH Sustainability Awards

More than eighty-five project entries from ports in thirty countries have been received this year for participation in the IAPH Sustainability Awards competition. This is by far a record-high turnout after the previous milestone of sixty-one eligible entries in 2021.  These quality entries, in combination with their well-balanced geographical spread over all regions of the IAPH membership ensure an intense and truly global competition for this year’s six awards under the WPSP categories of infrastructure, digitalisation, climate and energy, environmental care, community building, and health safety and security. The screening, processing and uploading of all eligible projects at the WPSP database has already started and will be completed by the end of June, when the final list of candidate projects per category will be announced. During July and August our awards jury will assess all candidate projects against the evaluation criteria to produce the shortlist of eighteen finalists, consisting of the top three projects per category. The final step will be as always, a public vote over the shortlisted projects, the outcome of which will co-determine, together with the outcomes of the jury evaluation, the six final winners to be announced during the World Ports Conference Gala Dinner in Abu Dhabi, on 1 November. If you have any questions related to your submissions, and the evaluation process of the Sustainability Awards, please contact Antonis Michail: [email protected]. We are delighted with this year’s turnout, and we are most grateful to all member ports who shared their splendid sustainability initiatives.
