Resilience at the waterline

When a storm hits a busy port, the damage doesn’t stop at the shoreline. From physical infrastructure failure to cascading disruptions in global trade, the costs of climate inaction are multiplying — and they don’t just show up in repair bills. Understanding where losses occur — and where resilience pays off — requires systems thinking, better data, smarter tools, and cross-sector collaboration. That’s why we’re calling on experts and stakeholders to join the conversation at ICONHIC.

If you’re working on any of the following, we want to hear from you:

• Port and maritime asset managers looking to climate-proof aging infrastructure
• Investors and asset owners managing coastal risk and long-term liability
• Insurers and reinsurers exploring new instruments for systemic disruption
• Engineers and risk analysts developing the next generation of digital twins
• Climate scientists modeling storms, surges, and sea-level dynamics
• Researchers building agent-based models to simulate real-world cascading impacts
• Governments and planners advancing adaptive, risk-informed strategies
• Tech innovators integrating early warning, monitoring, and resilience analytics
