description |
Ports are essential for a country's economic growth because of their commercial activities and job creation. However, their geographic location makes them vulnerable to flooding, with a greater impact in recent years due to the melting of glacier ice sheets and rising ocean temperatures, which were the main effects associated with climate change that have contributed to sea-level rise (SLR). The objective of this work was to identify and characterize the methodologies employed, globally, to calculate the costs of SLR in ports with the aim of providing an overview of existing methodological approaches to address this important climate change effect. For the development of this work, the suggested list in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was followed, and a content analysis was also conducted. The costs estimated in the studies varied significantly, ranging from millions to billions of dollars, with the majority focusing on adaptation measures, followed by economic aspects, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis. It is advisable to shift from isolated and specific strategies to a standardized global methodological approach that can address the potentially inevitable risk of flooding due to the effects of climate change. The operability of ports in the face of SLR will largely depend on accurately estimating the necessary investment to confront it, through standardized climate projections, evaluating the global cost involved, to ensure that investments in port infrastructure are effective. |

Los puertos son esenciales para el crecimiento económico de un país por sus actividades comerciales y la creación de empleos, sin embargo, debido a su ubicación geográfica son vulnerables a inundaciones, con un mayor impacto en los últimos años, derivado del derretimiento de las capas de hielo de los glaciares y el aumento de la temperatura en los océanos, que son los principales efectos asociados al cambio climático que han contribuido al incremento en el nivel del mar (INM). El objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar y caracterizar las metodologías empleadas, a nivel mundial, para calcular los costos por el INM en los puertos con la finalidad de ofrecer una aproximación de las propuestas metodológicas existentes para abordar este importante efecto del cambio climático. Para el desarrollo del trabajo, se dio seguimiento al listado sugerido en el Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), además se procedió con un análisis de contenido. Los costos que se estimaron en los estudios variaron significativamente desde unos millones hasta miles de millones de dólares, siendo en su mayoría acciones de adaptación, seguidas de los aspectos económicos, rentabilidad y relación costo-beneficio. Es conveniente transitar de estrategias aisladas y particulares a una propuesta metodológica global y estandarizada que permita afrontar el riesgo de inundación que se considere posiblemente inevitable ante los efectos del cambio climático. La operatividad de los puertos frente al INM dependerá en gran medida de una adecuada estimación de inversión necesaria para afrontarla, mediante proyecciones climáticas estandarizadas, evaluando de forma global el costo que implica, para garantizar que la inversión en infraestructuras portuarias sea eficaz.
