With a great shout out to @cleanarctic.bsky.social for the work they are doing at @imohq.bsky.social As individuals, how can we help change shipping fuel regulations? By supporting organizations like Clean Arctic Alliance: cleanarctic.org

IMO Urged To Ramp Up Efforts on Curbing Shipping’s Black Carbon Impacts on Arctic cleanarctic.org/2026/05/01/i...

Nations are at the International Maritime Organization trying to agree on a "net-zero framework", after talks were torpedoed last year by the Trump administration (and others). They are currently discussing various compromise proposals from different countries. What ideas are on the table? ⬇️

As the rising number of vessels in the icy waters increases the risk of environmental disaster, scientists are scrambling to find potential solutions www.theguardian.com/environment/... @sianprior.bsky.social @gloriadickie.bsky.social

Vital Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents. @apnews.com @borenbears.bsky.social

Good story! The emissions, specifically black carbon, are destroying the arctics for everyone, human and wildlife. No doubt in our minds cruise ships should be prohibited. End of story! @cleanarctic.bsky.social

Alaska needs to be realistic. AKLNG is far from being the great salvation of the State. There are risks they outweigh the benefits. We need to talk about that.

The current discount plan that will be offered to cruise lines rewards them for using LNG. Arguably a worse fuel than HFO. #Portland #Maine #cruiseships #MEpolitics #LNG

Over 80 organizations endorsed a letter to banks and pension funds calling on them not to fund Tilbury LNG expansion. Whales are threatened by every tanker, and LNG terminals cause pollution on the land through leaks and flaring. Take action here: stand.earth/StopTilbury #SayNoToLNG #GreenSky

Clean Arctic Alliance Welcomes Coming into Force of Emission Control Areas for Shipping bit.ly/4bQkAxP

“We’re calling for shipping in the Arctic to move away from fuels that are so dirty that even diesel is a better alternative,” news.mongabay.com/2026/02/petr... @mongabay.com @sianprior.bsky.social @imohq.bsky.social

“However there is already overwhelming evidence – so there is no reason to not regulate scrubber pollution. The Clean Arctic Alliance is calling on ambitious member states to keep pushing for discharge bans, either in territorial seas, PSSAs and or Emission Control Areas”. @eelcoleemans.bsky.social

PPR 13: NGOs Criticise IMO’s Slow Progress on Cleaner Fuel Rules for Arctic Shipping bit.ly/ppr13b

“’Due to the IMO’s failure to regulate harmful discharges from ships equipped with scrubbers, there is an increase in local, national, & regional authorities introducing bans on scrubber water discharges”, said Dr. Kåre Press-Kristensen from Green Global Future, a member of the Clean Arctic Alliance

“Scrubbers at present justify the continued use of heavy fuel oil (HFO), the dirtiest of all fuels. The shipping industry should get their act together by rapidly moving away from HFO and from fossil fuels in the longer term.” @eelcoleemans.bsky.social @cleanarctic.bsky.social #PPR13 #banscrubbers

NGOs Welcome New Scrubber Action Group, call for Global Regulation for Shipping cleanarctic.org/2026/02/10/n...

Thanks to Clean Arctic Alliance for this great infographic, showing how ships with scrubbers pollute and acidify the oceans, harming the entire marine food web. @cleanarctic.bsky.social

“It ends up in a never-ending cycle of increased warming,” said @sianprior.bsky.social , lead adviser for the @cleanarctic.bsky.social “We need to regulate emissions and black carbon, in particular. Both are completely unregulated in the Arctic.” #shipping #blackcarbon #PPR13 #cruiseships

"Black carbon," or soot, that spews from ships and makes the Arctic Ocean ice melt even faster is an increasing concern in a region beset with many other issues.

In the Arctic, the major climate threat of black carbon is overshadowed by geopolitical tensions apnews.com/article/arct... @sianprior.bsky.social @arnifinnsson.bsky.social

This will be an incredibly important meeting in London. Cleaner shipping will reduce black carbon, which is leading to the destruction of the Arctic accelerating the climate crisis. #PPR13

Excellent webinar from @cleanarctic.bsky.social about what is at stake at #PPR13. The most significant fact is that these critical changes in shipping fuel can be made immediately. They are not difficult, no new technology is required. They only need recognition of the science & the harm. #IMO
