Green Indicators: Air pollution

Aesthetic and noise pollution

Solid waste pollution

Liquid pollution

Marine biology preservation

• Reducing speed after landfall• Using substitute energy and energy-saving device• Encouraging use of low-sulphur fuel• Using electricity power• Air pollution avoidance

APEC relevance

Port are very diverse in APEC (even in one country), ports scope

Data availability

Air pollution avoidance

Invoice for energy consumption?

Comparability

Using substitute energy and energy-saving device

Not all the ports are in the same level. Divide ports into groups or focus on the improvement?

Stakeholders’ requirements and acceptance

Workshop & questionnaire, TPT-WG, other platform or ways?

APSN GPAS Index Frameworks

Three Key Factors

♦ Commitment and Willingness (CW)

♦ Action and Implementation (AI)

♦ Efficiency and Effectiveness (EE)

Two principles Highlight the efforts have been made and how much

improvement have been achieved, outlook the physical difference in technology, development level, facilities and so on; (Ports are very diverse in APEC)

Follow the principle of voluntaries but expect the guidance from the government.
