🚢 New briefing: Opportunities for action in the IMO Net-Zero Framework The @imohq.bsky.social NZF agreed in April lacks the ambition needed for a just and equitable transition to net zero shipping. But here we outline critical areas within the Framework where ambition can be increased.👇 🧵1/5

🚢 New report! A Just and Equitable Transition for Shipping 🚢    A new global emissions fee has been agreed for shipping – set to raise ~$10B/year to go into the IMO Net-Zero Fund.    But how the money is spent will decide whether this is a win for climate justice – or a giveaway to big polluters. 🧵

As leaders debate ocean protection on the French Riviera, fossil-fueled ships continue to pollute and destroy marine habitats. We need action now: 🛳️ Include shipping in NDCs 🚫 Ban scrubbers ⚡ Invest in e-fuels & wind 📈 Boost ship efficiency #UNOC3 #SaveOurOcean

🌊 With #UNOC3 starting today, OG, @seasatrisk.bsky.social and @transenv.bsky.social, are urging governments to act on a major climate gap: 🚢 Include international shipping in national climate plans (NDCs) in line with their obligations under int'l law. 🧾 Read our joint PR 👇 #ClimateSky #GreenSky

🎧 NEW PODCAST: Our CEO Aoife O’Leary is on @lloydslistdaily.bsky.social’s podcast to unpack the @imohq.bsky.social deal on shipping decarbonisation, and why it falls short. “It’s not going to meet what we need in terms of climate science. But this is not the end,” says Aoife. Listen👇 #ClimateSky

🚢 Shipping’s getting a price on its pollution The IMO just approved the first global GHG pricing mechanism for ships. It’s historic but too slow and too weak to meet climate goals. Modelling shows that it won’t cut emissions more than 10% by 2030. 🔗: bit.ly/4jAlzUF #shipping

🚢The IMO laid a foundation — but not enough. The energy transition is happening. Industry must lead: ✅ Invest in wind & clean fuels ✅ Avoid short-term LNG traps ✅ Push equity in the transition #MEPC83 #CleanShipping

The UN’s shipping body has agreed to charge shipowners who don’t cut their emissions intensity by 30% by 2035. The $380/tonne penalty will fund green fuels, port upgrades & a just transition for maritime workers.

There is a lot to make sense of in the agreement that came out of the IMO last week. But don’t worry – T&E’s got you covered. We broke down was agreed and what it means for the future of shipping decarbonisation. Check it out ➡️ bit.ly/3E9QoQy

🌎🚢 IMO negotiations ended in disappointment on Friday. What actually happened at #MEPC83 and why does it matter for shipping, climate and climate vulnerable nations? Here’s a quick thread to get you up to speed, and read our PR on the IMO negotiations' conclusion. 👇 🧵1/7 #ClimateSky #GreenSky

📱Watch now! OG Snr. Econ Director @meadwaj.bsky.social & @mikaelaloach.bsky.social are at the IMO. Int'l shipping is a big polluter paying little tax and making huge profits. The IMO must put a high price on shipping GHG emissions to drive a just transition. bit.ly/4i8hMw8 #ClimateSky #GreenSky

The United Nations #shipping agency, @imohq.bsky.social, is on the cusp of introducing binding regulations to phase out fossil fuel use in global shipping — with the world’s first-ever global emissions levy on the table. cnb.cx/43MirzN

Imagine if we could clean up one of the world’s dirtiest industries while also raising funds for clean fuels. Good news: we can. This week the IMO will decide if this becomes a reality. 🧵

Comment: Pricing the shipping industry's one billion tonnes of annual emissions – around 3% of all global emissions – is the best way to deliver a transition to zero emissions by 2050 in a way that is fair and equitable. 🖋 @rregenvanu.bsky.social
