IAPH launches Port Endeavor game to share port projects applying UN Sustainable Development Goals in practice

IAPH is delighted to announce the global launch of its Port Endeavor game, with first official live person sessions having been held last week in Belgium in partnership with the Antwerp Port Training Center and this week in Spain together with UNCTAD as part of its TrainForTrade program, hosted by the Port of Gijon.

Port Endeavor draws on real life examples from the 200+ strong ISPH World Ports Sustainability Program (WPSP) database of projects and best practices on how ports integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) into their business models and operations. The aim of the game is to increase awareness among port management, staff and professionals working in port communities on how ports are already applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals to their business, to ultimately accelerate adoption of these measures in the port sector.

Designed by port specialists for playing by port executives, management and employees alike, the game invites players to represent a fictional port with a specific role and objectives and to team up with other participants in that port to accumulate the highest number of UNSDG badges by deciding to spend limited budgets on sustainable activities. Teams get additional bonus points for achieving personal Endeavor goals as well as collecting SDGs based on the Program’s five areas of interest such as Climate and Energy and Community Outreach. Port teams can also be impacted by occasional disruptive events which are also based on real life cases.
