The science behind cutting shipping emissions and short-term global warming Recent scientific debates highlight a paradox in pollution reduction. Reducing certain air pollutants, particularly sulphur emissions from shipping, is hugely beneficial for people’s health. But a dec...

On Thin Ice: Why Black Carbon Demands Urgent Attention A new report released today lays out the case for why the International Maritime Organization (IMO) should immediately act on reducing black carbon pollution — a climate super-pollutant.

🌊🚢 ¡Un paso más en la protección de nuestros océanos!
Desde ECODES celebramos la reciente prohibición de los scrubbers en aguas internas y puertos de los países de
la OSPAR. Una gran noticia que refuerza nuestro trabajo con @cleanarctic.bsky.social para conservar la biodiversidad marina.

👉El próximo 26 de junio, en Vigo, se debatirá esta propuesta. Los ministros de Medio Ambiente y Transporte del Atlántico Nororiental deben aprovechar esta oportunidad para impulsar un transporte marítimo más limpio y alineado con los límites del planeta.

Royal Arctic Line to eliminate heavy fuel oil use - ArcticToday Greenland’s state-owned shipping company, Royal Arctic Line (RAL), has announced it will end its use of heavy fuel oil (HFO) across its fleet—an early move that has drawn strong praise from the Clean Arctic Alliance. The decision means RAL will not rely on exemptions or waivers allowed under the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) heavy fuel...
