Rethinking the Green Strategies and Environmental Performance of Ports for the Global Energy Transition

The relationship between ports and energy markets is undergoing a transition in their functions as suppliers, consumers, and energy processors. Environmental factors increasingly force the maritime sector to reduce its carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency. Governing the maritime sector’s environmental performance requires leveling decarbonization through integration with energy supply chains and rethinking green strategies and environmental sustainability. This paper highlights that a port’s energy management system can be an example of supply–demand equalizing sustainable alternative energy sources. Such systems engage more profoundly within the energy value chain by assessing green and environmental indicators in port operations, strategies, and investments. This manuscript investigates the challenges in ports’ operations, strategies, and investments, considering their energy transition and decarbonization. Therefore, this research conducted a qualitative study on ports’ energy efficiency and greening using an in-depth interview method in three seaports in the Adriatic, Baltic, and Black Sea basins. The paper proposes a framework for analyzing green variables in the ports’ operations, strategies, and investments to improve their environmental performance. The framework examines a set of green variables, researching their cause-and-effect relationship, enabling testing and evaluation of the determined relationships, and identifying asynchrony in the balanced development of green investments and energy efficiency.

Mental Health Outcomes of a National Cohort of Adults Born with Very Low Birthweight.

Background: Children born with a very low birthweight (VLBW; <1500 g) and/or very preterm (VPT; <32 weeks) are at increased risk of mental health problems, but adult data are inconsistent. Objectives: We examined the prevalence of a range of mental health disorders in a national cohort of adults born with a VLBW, as well as associations between gestational age and mental health outcomes. Methods: All infants born with a VLBW in New Zealand in 1986 were followed prospectively from birth. The 12-month prevalence of mental health outcomes, in addition to substance use and violent/property offending were assessed at a median age of 28 years in this cohort relative to 100 full-term (FT) controls. Outcomes were assessed using structured interview methods. Results: There was a modest increase in the overall rate of mental health problems in VLBW adults compared to controls (ARR 1.33 [95% CI 0.83, 2.12]), reflecting slightly higher rates of anxiety disorders, notably agoraphobia (ARR 2.98 [0.64, 13.85]), social phobia (ARR 1.61 [0.71, 3.65]), and suicidal ideation/attempt (ARR 1.66 [0.45, 6.08]), but not depression (ARR 1.02 [0.57, 1.81]). There were no clear differences in substance use/offending outcomes. VLBW individuals born extremely preterm (<28 weeks) were most vulnerable to later mental health problems relative to controls (overall rate of mental health problems ARR 1.54 [0.86, 2.73]). Effect sizes for any anxiety disorder were also higher for VLBW females than VLBW males compared to same-sex controls. Conclusions: This population-based longitudinal cohort study showed that adults born preterm with a VLBW reported more mental health problems than FT controls; however, this difference was small. Pooled analyses involving larger sample sizes are needed, but findings suggest only modest individual and public health impacts of preterm birth on adult mental health functioning.
