Göteborgs hamns förberedelser för framtida klimatförändringar

TL;DRAbstract

Due to higher temperatures, sea level rise has received greater attention. Since Gothenburg and its harbour are positioned relatively low, as a result, there is an impending risk of flooding. Worst case scenario the mean sea level is expected to rise with 0.5-1 meter. The local impact will be even greater, especially when there is extreme weather. Consequently, parts of the port will be under water and thus affect the port operations in a negative way, as they will need to reorganize in order to meet the new sea level. As a result of this they will be forced to take expensive and time-consuming measures to find a solution. The Port of Gothenburg is an important node for trade as it has the largest capacity of freight in all of Sweden. If this centre of trade were to shut down for a longer period of time this could lead to failing economy and eventually this could affect the whole country. \n\nThe purpose of the study is to examine how the Port of Gothenburg is preparing to meet the fut
