Extreme weather, flooding, and rising sea levels would all damage vital seaport infrastructure, disrupting global supply lines.<\/p>\n Losses from storms and climate-related port disruptions could near $10 billion a year by 2050, according to the report, commissioned by the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). By 2100, without action on climate change, those costs could balloon to more than $25 billion a year. For context, that last figure is more than the total operating profits for the entire global container shipping industry in a year.<\/p>\n Many ports are already overwhelmed<\/a> after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses<\/a> in global supply chains. Now, ports and the shipping industry have a lot of work ahead of them to cut down their own planet-heating pollution and avoid the worst-case scenarios outlined in the report, its authors warn.<\/p>\n
