IMO: As Momentum Builds, NGOs Call for Concrete Proposals To Reduce Black Carbon Impact on Arctic
As MEPC 79 closed in London, the Clean Arctic Alliance welcomed progress to reduce the impact of GHGs and black carbon emissions from shipping on the Arctic, but called on IMO member states to act decisively to regulate black carbon emissions
MEPC 79: Slashing Black Carbon Emissions Would Cut Shipping’s Climate Impact This Decade
“Shipping’s climate impact must halve by 2030 if global heating is to be kept below the Paris Agreement’s limit of 1.5 degrees, and action on black carbon is essential if the industry is to reach this objective”
Infographic: Fast Track to Climate Disaster
This infographic shows how the world is fast approaching climate tipping points leading to cascading and irreversible impact if emissions don’t immediately peak and rapidly decline. It also covers the particular case of the Arctic and how shipping significantly contributes to the climate crisis.
Infographic: Scrubbers – A false solution to the IMO’s Sulphur Cap
