Approximately 90% of the world trade is transported by sea, and current business-as-usual scenarios project emissions will grow up to 50% over 2018 levels. While the International Maritime Organization noted increased ship size and operational improvements aimed at creating better fuel efficiency have resulted in a decrease in emissions intensity, annual absolute emissions are still increasing.

International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) supports the idea that carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies are crucial, as CO2 reductions alone won't get us to net zero by 2050.

Climate change is having dangerous impacts on nature and people in every region of the world. There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has a historic opportunity in the next three months to put the global shipping industry on an equitable, 1.5°C-aligned decarbonisation pathway, highlighted a group of NGOs, pushing IMO to take decisive actions towards shipping emissions cuts during the Intersessional Working Group on Greenhouse Gases (ISWG-GHG-14) that takes place 20 to 24 March 2023.

During COP 27 in Egypt, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The two parties agreed to exchange knowledge and collaborate on initiatives to accelerate widespread renewable energy adoption to mitigate climate change.

Key industry associations jointly released a glossary on climate change definitions in relation to shipping in an effort to clarify associated terminology.

The most recent IPCC report on climate change takes a look on the near and long term risks that the continuous deterioration of the planet's climate could cause.

According to the latest Working Group III report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach.

Many of the climate changes observed on Earth are unprecedented in thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years, according to the latest IPCC Report.

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report highlights the urgency to prioritize timely, ambitious and coordinated action to address unprecedented and enduring changes in the ocean and cryosphere. The report also reveals the benefits of ambitious and effective adaptation for sustainable development and the increasing costs and risks of delayed action.
