Enhancing institutional capacity of public authorities and stakeholders and efficient public administration.
The main objective of CLEAN BERTH is to strengthen the institutional capacity of the ports in the Program Area towards a coordinated and permanent governance in the field of environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency at cross-border level, through developing joint action plans and long-term strategy, by increasing coordination and cooperation among ports to strengthen their sustainability and competitiveness.
The ports of the Programme area do not have a common model for environmental planning and energy efficiency and adopt non-coordinated mitigation measures with an uneven result in terms of environmental protection. CLEAN BERTH intends to strengthen institutional capacity and cross-border governance of the ports of the Program Area. The aim is to improve their environmental and energy performance. In particular, a model of cross-border plan for environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency will be developed and declined through an ad hoc plan for each port (WP3.1) to be tested in concrete pilot actions, with tangible results (WP3.2). On the basis of what learned in WP3.1 and WP3.2, the ports of the Program Area will sign a Protocol for a joint cross-border cooperation strategy and harmonisation of policies in the medium and long term (WP3.3). This will benefit neighbouring citizens and those living in the municipalities where commercial airports are located. No project so far has ever brought together all ports of the Programme Area for a joint cross-border strategy.
The main result that CLEAN BERTH aims for is the improvement of the collaboration and institutional capacity of the ports of the Program Area in the key theme of environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency, through joint action plans and strategies developed jointly, in a perspective long-term cooperation. CLEAN BERTH aims to achieve the following specific results: 1) Improvement of port skills in joint planning for environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency, as basis for a long-term change. In particular, a fruitful exchange of experiences and a benchmark analysis will provide the staff of all the ports of the Area with a solid knowledge to improve their planning skills; 2) Harmonization of policies and actions to strengthen crossborder environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency. The drafting of a common model of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency plan and its declination for each port as well as its experimentation through concrete pilot actions, will form the basis for standardization of environmental protection measures, consolidating sustainability and competitiveness of the ports of the Programme Area. 3) Institutionalization of a cross-border governance of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. Thanks to the creation of a permanent cross-border institutional platform through the signing of a joint protocol, all ports in the Programme Area will undertake to apply a common strategy on environmental sustainability and energy efficiency in a long-term perspective beyond the end of the project.

KEY PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The main objective of CLEAN BERTH is to strengthen the institutional capacity of the ports in the Program Area towards a coordinated and permanent governance in the field of environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency at cross-border level, through developing joint action plans and long-term strategy, by increasing coordination and cooperation among ports to strengthen their sustainability and competitiveness..
CURRENT STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION
The Project started on 01.03.2020. The project partners contributed to the analysis of the current state of the ports in the program area. As a first activity, inventories of GHG emissions were prepared: an important tool for also comparing the quantities of emissions between terminals or ports, consequently identifying the critical issues, adopting the most effective decisions on priority investments and introducing the technological changes useful to reduce them. Based on the calculation of the carbon footprint for each port, the identification and analysis of best practices in terms of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency were then made. The consolidated report on the current situation allowed each port to develop individual environmental sustainability and energy efficiency plans, which were then grouped into a single cross-border action plan for the strengthening of environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency. The goal is to achieve the progressive reduction of emission factors in the port area. In fact, the joint cross-border action plan identifies the strategies and activities that over the next decade will help ports reduce their environmental impact and strengthen energy efficiency. The interventions concern different areas of port activities, ranging from emissions generated by the administrative management of the port to emissions generated by the operation of the port along the entire port logistics chain.
Currently the ports of CLEAN BERTH are implementing the pilot actions and the conclusion of the project is expected on 31.08.2022.
