NGOs React to Shipping Companies COP28 Call For End Date of Fossil-Only Ship Construction
“The Clean Arctic Alliance notes with interest the joint statement from five of the largest shipping companies calling for the creation of appropriate regulatory conditions to accelerate the transition to green fuels and decarbonise the shipping industry, and urges these industry leaders to add their voices to the 13-year-old discussions at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on control measures aimed at reducing emissions of black carbon – a potent climate forcer which makes up around one-fifth of shipping’s climate impact on a 20 year global warming potential basis.”
