Abstract

As the response to climate change transitions from passive adaptation to transformation and resilience, the importance of climate resilience has become increasingly evident. The port logistics industry is highly vulnerable to climate change, and the efficacy of climate resilience within the sector must be empirically validated. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of national climate resilience on container port throughput. To achieve this, we conducted a panel regression analysis using data spanning 13 years (2010–2022) from 83 countries. The findings reveal that, overall, climate resilience positively influences container port throughput, but in Latin America, it showed a negative correlation. This suggests that the relationship between climate resilience and container port throughput varies depending on regional characteristics and factors. Further, climate resilience indicators specific to the port logistics industry should be developed. This study serves as a foundational exploration into climate resilience in the port logistics industry, providing empirical evidence of its critical role. The findings serve as a foundation for sustainable development and policy decision-making.
