Identifying and ranking environmental aspects of a dry port in Foz do Iguaçu city, Paraná‐Brazil

This work aims to present and describe the process of identifying and ranking environmental aspects of a dry port in Brazil. The general approach includes a literature review on the importance of managing the environmental aspects and impacts in dry ports, followed by a description of the holistic procedures entailed in inventorying the port's activities linked to environmental aspects, the Leopold matrix, and the expert knowledge regarding the local context (e.g., compliance with the law, regional adaptation to climate change strategy, and stakeholder concerns) necessary to perform the ranking. The results showed that emissions to the air, noise, and resource consumption are among the most significant environmental aspects of the dry port.
