A new insight brief series was released this week from the Global Maritime Forum which identifies four actions that maritime and shipping industries can take now to support shipping’s transition to a sustainable and resilient zero-emission future.

NGO Opportunity Green supports a GHG levy with a starting price of $100/tonne of CO2 equivalent emissions to aid the International Maritime Organization's emissions strategy.

The maritime industry must take immediate collective action on an unprecedented scale to bring the decarbonization of the industry closer to the Paris 1.5°C trajectory, states the Maritime Decarbonization Strategy, a new report published today by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping.

The Global Maritime Forum has issued an Insight Brief that summarizes discussions from its Annual Summit, held in September 2022 in New York, around the policy imperative to decarbonize shipping in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degree temperature goal.

"Renewable Energy Targets in 2022: A guide to design," released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) at the UN Climate Change Conference COP27, assesses the level of renewable energy ambition in national climate pledges and benchmarks targets against the global climate goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C.

Global Wind Energy Council published its 2022 Report indicating that despite significant growth in wind power, at the current rates of installation the world will have less than two-thirds of the wind energy capacity required to limit warming to 1.5°C and achieve a net zero pathway by 2030.

New research from the University of Manchester shows that the current climate targets set for the international shipping are far too low, and would mean the sector cannot play its fair part in meeting the Paris climate goals.

Over than 200 industry leaders called on COP26 to commit to decarbonize international shipping by 2050, during the Global Maritime Forum Annual Summit.

The UN outlined key recommendations for leaders to accelerate an equitable decarbonization of maritime transport in line with a 1.5°C trajectory.

A legal analysis of the Paris Agreement has concluded that emissions from international shipping and aviation are both covered by the treaty.
