摘　　要：Seaports are critical for global trade and development but are at risk of climate change-driven damages,operational disruptions and delays with extensive related economic losses.The aim of the present contribution is to(a)provide an overview of the main impacts of climate variability and change(CV&C)on ports;(b)present recent research on trends and projections involving the main climatic factors/hazards affecting global ports;(c)provide an analytical overview of emerging international and regional policies and legislation relevant to port risk assessment and resilience-building under climate change;and(d)consider issues and areas for further action.As shown by projections under different climatic scenarios and timelines,many global ports will increasingly be exposed to significantly growing hazards under increasing CV&C,including extreme sea levels(ESLs),waves,and extreme heat events.Depending on scenario(RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5)by 2050,55%to 59%of the 3630 global ports considered could face ESLs in excess of 2 m above the baseline mean sea levels(mean of the 1980-2014 period);by 2100,between 71%and 83%of ports could face ESLs of this magnitude.Ports in most tropical/sub-tropical settings will face the baseline(mean of the 1976-2005 period)1-in-100 year extreme heat every 1-5 years,whereas with 3 oC global warming,most global ports(except some in higher latitudes)could experience the baseline 1-in-100 years extreme heat event every 1-2 years.A range of policy and legal instruments to support climate change adaptation,resilience-building and disaster risk reduction have been agreed internationally as well as at regional levels.At the EU level,relevant legal obligations and related normative technical guidance aimed at ensuring the climate proofing of new infrastructure are already in place as a matter of supra-national law for 27 EU Member States.These could significantly enhance levels of climate-resilience and preparedness for ports within the EU,as well as for EU funded port projects in other countries,and may serv
