“The devastating news that the Arctic sea ice maximum has reached one of the lowest extents recorded must drive an urgent and rapid slashing of emissions - particularly black carbon - from all sectors, including international shipping”, said Dr Sian Prior, Lead Advisor to the Clean Arctic Alliance.
In this document, the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) emphasizes areas of particular interest to the ICC and the need to develop mandatory and concrete measures to urgently reduce Black Carbon emissions from shipping in the Arctic and Inuit Nunaat.
This document responds to unresolved discussions during the Correspondence Group on Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships on the geographic scope of measures (recommendatory or mandatory) aimed at reducing emissions of Black Carbon impacting the Arctic from international shipping.
