SUMMARY:Workshop on ISO 50001 energy management systems to promote sustaina
 ble practices and energy efficiency in African ports 
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ISO 50001 energy management systems to promote sustainable prac
 tices andenergy efficiency in African ports As part of the UNCTAD project
  “Sustainable Smart Ports for African Countries” UNCTAD\, ISO and repr
 esentatives from ports of Tanger Med (Morocco)\, Port Louis (Mauritius)\, 
 and Tema (Ghana)\, along with local stakeholders and ISO experts\, will co
 nvene on 29 and 30 October 2024 for an online training on the ISO 50001 st
 andard to learn about ways to enhance energy efficiency in ports.This trai
 ning aims to strengthen capacity of ports and local relevant stakeholders 
 in the development and implementation of energy management systems in acco
 rdance with ISO 50001\, thereby fostering sustainable energy practices and
  improving energy efficiency. Concretely\, this event will help ports to:
 Increase understanding of ISO 50001 and its benefits\, including energy co
 st reduction\, greenhouse gas emissions minimization.Provide detailed know
 ledge about the requirements and characteristics of ISO 50001\, focusing o
 n its applicability to port operations.Equip stakeholders with practical i
 nsights into developing and implementing a Port Energy Management Plan (PE
 MP) in accordance with ISO 50001 guidelines.Emphasize the importance of st
 akeholder collaboration and data requirements for successful ISO 50001 imp
 lementation.The virtual awareness-raising session will have a duration of 
 six hours (2 days of 3 hours)\, facilitated by ISO experts:On Day 1 (29 Oc
 tober)\, the session will introduce ISO 50001\, covering its requirements 
 and benefits of implementing it in port operations while highlighting the 
 critical role of people and management as key success factors.On Day 2 (30
  October)\, the session will focus on technical indicators of energy perfo
 rmance management\, using practical examples and real data from the ports 
 present.Key stakeholders participating in these dialogues include\, among 
 others\, the Mauritius Port Authority\, Tanger Med Port Authority\, Ghana 
 Ports and Harbours Authority\, the Mauritius Ministry of Energy and Public
  Utilities\, cargo handling operators\, electricity providers\, and termin
 al operators and representatives from ISO National Standard bodies.  By 
 invitation only\, this activity is limited to a specific number of partici
 pants. https://unctad.org/project/sustainable-smart-ports-african-countri
