(hereafter “ports”) within the European Union are facing increasingly
restrictive regulation in the near future from various sources driven by
climate change prevention and public opinion supporting “green” values. Ports
are complex hubs for maritime transportation systems and global supply chains,
as well as an integral part of critical national infrastructures. However, they
are also significant individual sources of harmful emissions, and their
involvement is crucial to reducing transportation-related environmental
impacts. To meet future regulatory requirements, stakeholders will need to find
ways to align their policies accordingly and create long-term pathways toward
these ambitious targets. The empirical case study presented in this paper among
European Port Cluster (EPC) stakeholders distinctly reflects the mounting
importance of environmental policies and the need for further preparative
measures for meeting future demands. This paper emphasizes the intensified
impact of forthcoming regulation on existing business models in the EPC and
contributes a foresight-based framework to approaching this issue
systematically. The adoption of future-oriented regulation is a non-linear,
potentially disruptive, and complex foresight process that requires each
stakeholder to formulate their own strategic pathway toward a target-seeking
scenario. Changing direction from the status quo toward sustainability also
requires a strong commitment beyond mere regulatory compliance. |
