The Rotterdam Port of the Future: Clean, Just, and Regenerative
We unite communities, researchers, and policymakers to reimagine port activity—restoring nature, protecting health, and supporting good jobs that align with a liveable planet.
One Planet Port aims to create a clear vision and roadmap for transforming the Port of Rotterdam into a zero-pollution port that operates within ecological limits. We work to align environmental safety with economic resilience, social justice, and democratic collaboration.
We are Mapping the Port's Activities Against these Planetary Boundaries
Not just about environmental metrics; it's about fostering a systemic transformation of the port.
At One Planet Port (OPP), our vision work is centered on reimagining the Port of Rotterdam to operate within the Earth’s ecological limits, guided by the nine planetary boundaries framework. This model identifies critical Earth system processes—such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and biogeochemical cycles—that must remain within safe limits to maintain a stable and resilient planet.
