U.S. Seaports Face Elevated Risks in a Warmer World with Higher Seas

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: U.S. commercial maritime ports will likely face substantial challenges associated with climate change throughout this century. If the effects of rising sea levels and increased temperatures increasingly stall port operations or cause infrastructure deterioration, they can pose a risk to trade flows. This Executive Briefing on Trade examines a recent set of climate change projections, focusing on continental U.S.- specific trends that pose the greatest risks to seaports.
