Abstract

The United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda) serves as a global framework for addressing sustainability challenges. The port industry (PI) plays a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a vital component of the global economy and supply chains. This research paper addresses the alignment between the PI and the 2030 Agenda. The study aims to bridge the research gap by exploring the extent to which the PI aligns with the SDGs and proposes a framework for implementation. Through an analysis of literature, this study identifies the relevant SDG targets for the PI. The original wordings of the relevant targets were adapted to make them meaningful to the PI. The adapted targets were validated by eight Canadian Port authorities to ensure their relevance and clarity. The alignment resulted in the identification of 69 targets, representing all 17 SDGs.
