Glasgow: The 19th coalition of countries including the United Kingdom and the United States on Wednesday agreed to create a trading route for sending emissions between the port to accelerate the decarbonization of the global maritime industry, officials said.
Shipping, which transports around 90% of world trade, accounts for almost 3% of world CO2 emissions.
The UN Delivery Agency of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) said it was aimed at reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions from ships up to 50% from the 2008 level in 2005.
The aim was not aligned with the 2015 Paris Agreement on the pressure and the sector under pressure.
for more ambitious.
The signatories involved in the ‘Clydebank Declaration’, which was launched on the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, agreed to support the formation of at least six green corridors in 2025, which would require the development of zero emissions fuel supplies, the infrastructure needed for decarbonization and framework Regulatory work.
“It is our aspiration to see more corridors operating in 2030,” said their mission statement.
British Maritime Minister Robert said countries would not be able to reserve the shipping route without private and non-governmental commitments.
“English and indeed many countries, companies and NGOs here today believe zero international shipping emissions is possible in 2050,” said the court during launch.
US.
Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the declaration was “a big step forward for the green shipping corridor and collective action”.
He said the United States was “urging IMO to adopt zero emissions for international shipping in 2050”.
Imo Secretary General Kitack Lim said on Saturday: “We must increase our ambitions, following the latest developments in the global community”.
It is not clear how the green corridor commitment will achieve zero shipping emissions.
Madeline Rose, with the Green Group Pacific Environment, said “the Clydebank skeleton leaves space for the tactics of delay and fossil fuels”.
“We urge partner and port countries to act quickly to set benchmarks immediately, while and ultimately must remove all pollution of fossil fuels along the corridor with them,” Rose said.
Industrial Regulation Assistance Regulations Jan Dieleman, President of Sea Transportation with Giant Business Agri Cargill, one of the largest ship chartterers in the world, said “The actual challenge is to change any statement (in COP26) to something meaningful”.
“The majority of industries have received, we need to arrange,” he told Reuters.
“Industrial leadership needs to be followed up with global regulations and policies to ensure industrial-wide transformation.
We will not succeed without global regulations.” Christian Ingerslev, Chief Executive Tanker Maersk, who has more than 210 tankers of oil products under commercial management, said he had spent more than $ 30 million over the past three years to bring their carbon emissions through digital solutions.
“We need the government to not only support the PUSH regulation but also to help create zero emission fuel on a scale,” he said.
“The only way this will succeed is to set a market-based size through carbon taxes.” Other signatory countries are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Japan, Marshall Islands, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden.
