The NWPCAS creates a framework for participating Ports to address climate change and air pollution while staying competitive in a rapidly evolving industry. The 2020 Strategy takes a smart, “adaptive management” approach to allow participating Ports to help facilitate this transformation in a way that improves our competitiveness over time. Transitioning to zero-emission operations proactively and strategically can reduce costs in the long term and avoid costs of inaction. The shared vision within the NWPCAS levels the playing field, allowing Ports and industry to invest in clean air and climate action and spur development and deployment of clean fuels and technologies without impacting their competitiveness with other Northwest Ports.
