Port Cities with High Exposure and Vulnerability

July 6, 2012

While most of the U.S. is suffering from excessive heat and more than 50% of the country is experiencing drought, it is a good time to strengthen our resolve to take actions to mitigate likely future hazards and threats.

From the OECD a report on Ranking Port Cities with High Exposure and Vulnerability to Climate Extremes. The list of 20 cities, most of them major port cities throughout the world,  is quite sobering. Both the abstract and the full report (63 pages) are available at the URL noted above.
