The goal of this paper is to propose a screening method for assessing the environmental risk to aquatic systems in harbours worldwide. A semi-quantitative method is based on environmental pressures, environmental conditions and societal response. The method is flexible enough to be applied to 15 harbours globally distributed through a multinational test using standardised and homogenised open data that can be obtained for any port worldwide. The method emerges as a useful approach towards the foundation of a global environmental risk atlas of harbours that should guide the harbour sector to develop a more globally informed strategy of sustainable development. Image 1 • A method is proposed to assess the environmental risk of harbours on aquatic systems. • The method is a tool to identify the factors of risk on harbour aquatic systems. • Results obtained from 15 globally distributed harbours are analysed. • Towards the creation of a global atlas of environmental risk of harbours on aquatic systems.
