Hablar del Canal no es solo hablar de comercio o infraestructura. Es hablar de agua, de clima y de decisiones a largo plazo. De cómo gestionamos un recurso estratégico en un mundo cada vez más incierto.

En 2070, tu ciudad podría sentirse como otra completamente distinta. El calor, la humedad o la sequía podrían transformarla tanto que, si cierras los ojos, creerías estar en otro lugar del mundo.

Climate Zones te muestra cuál será la “gemela climática” de tu ciudad en menos de 50 años.

The Panama Canal, a vital conduit in global trade, faces sustainability challenges due to escalating water scarcity concerns, exacerbated by recent droughts and temperature fluctuations.

Reduced traffic flow through the canal, stemming from water scarcity-induced restrictions, is leading to significant financial losses and operational disruptions, impacting global supply chains and potentially exacerbating price pressures, particularly in industries reliant on timely transport.

Shipping companies are faced with costly alternatives to mitigate disruptions, including enduring extended waits, paying substantial fees for expedited passage, or redirecting shipments through longer routes, such as the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or Cape Horn.

Major players in the shipping industry, including consortiums like the Ocean's Alliance, are grappling with the challenges posed by delays at the Panama Canal, leading to increased costs and fuel consumption, which affect overall cost efficiency and raise industry concerns about global trade and supply chains.

Addressing the sustainability challenges of the Panama Canal requires adopting responsible water management practices, investing in resilience, and fostering collaboration across stakeholders to ensure its long-term viability and mitigate environmental consequences.
