For the 4th year in a row, Denmark is organising the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial, as preparation for the upcoming COP.

This year it’s even more relevant than earlier years, as Denmark will be having the EU presidency during COP30.

Great to learn more about the preparations.

Dan Jørgensen: A shipping levy is an innovative source of climate finance Denmark’s minister for climate policy explains why we need new ways to boost financing and phase out fossil fuels

A shipping levy should be an innovative source of climate finance! This has been pushed by Denmark before. I hope it still is something Denmark, and EU, want to push for in the ongoing negotiations in the International Maritime Organisation

Sad news from the @imohq.bsky.social negotiations, but we should remember that nothing is decided yet. I am still crossing fingers for a levy which can mobilise #climatefinance and help the shipping sector to become green

EU exploring weaker 2040 climate goal The European Commission wants to keep a 90 percent emissions-cutting target but to change how countries calculate their progress.

Media reports suggest @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu may allow international offsets in the EU’s 2040 climate targets.

This would be a major & dangerous u-turn from current EU climate policy.

Climate finance needs shipping industry to launch first global tax A shipping tax is imperative for a sustainable trade system that can also generate climate finance for vulnerable countries

I am crossing fingers, hoping for an ambitious outcome from the upcoming #IMO summit, where a global levy, which could generate climate finance, is on the table.
