In order of priority, challenges to achieving sustainable development were identified as being: Financial cost, stakeholder engagement, legislation of regulation, status of the environment within the business plan and techniques and equipment. The conference covered a wide range of issues from policy to technology, from finance to community relations. Overall, delegates agreed on the positive role that the exchange of knowledge and experience through such events can play in the promotion of sustainable development in the port and supply chain. Dates for the 2014 GreenPort South Asia Conference will be released shortly.
