A Port Authority can direct the port community towards sustainable attitudes and behaviours such as monitoring and improving air quality. For instance, in each terminal concession or lease agreement process, clauses can be included in order to push concessionaires towards action and behaviour to safeguard air quality. Also, a strict control could be imposed on the concessionaires to monitor how they are performing in terms of sustainability practices regarding each of their own terms and the applicable updated legislation.
