The Shipping Industry Gets Serious About Emissions

International Maritime Organisation countries have reached a compromise on global measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of international shipping.

Read the thoughts of CMW's Bastien Bonnet-Cantaloube in this article and check back here soon for Bastien's deep dive on the IMO compromise

La Organización Marítima Internacional aprueba un sistema para gravar las emisiones del sector, aunque sin el consenso de los países A partir de 2028, las embarcaciones deberán pagar en función de los gases que expulsen los combustibles empleados. El pacto abre la puerta a un comercio con los derechos de emisión

"It’s not really a question of whether they get agreement, it’s just how ambitious it is, how effective it is and how many unhappy people there are. " - John Maggs, Clean Shipping Coalition.

World's first-ever global emissions tax is on the table at crunch shipping talks Although far from a foregone conclusion, a robust pricing mechanism in the shipping sector would be considered one of the climate deals of the decade.

Good news: we can.

This week the IMO will decide if this becomes a reality.
