We at @AspenHighSeas and @AIEnvironment are thrilled to be working with so many excellent partners to help catalyze a transition to #ZeroEmissionShipping. Special thanks to @ClimateWorks for supporting our collaborative efforts!

[Aspen Energy & Envir @AIEnvironment]

The @AspenInstitute is launching a coalition to decarbonize marine shipping and accelerate a transition to zero-carbon ships with @OurOcean @cleanaircatf @UCL_Energy @NedMolloy @UMAS_15 @EnvDefenseFund
and many others! Read about it here: https://t.co/nb5e6DdtIy

The first day of the Future Leaders Climate Summit kicked off with amazing speakers @Leahtommi and @dvfernandez1 today - we can't wait for more later this week! #FLCS2020

Decades ago, photos of offshore #fishingfleet abuses drove the UN to ban large scale pelagic driftnets and approve the Straddling Stocks Covention. Now’s the time for more @UN action to close governance gaps on #HighSeas. Keep exposing these practices! #SDG14

[Samantha Emmert @samemmert]

Two tragedies last week - the explosion in #Beirut and oil spill in #Mauritius - could have been prevented by vessel registration reform. Proud of the critical work that @GlobalFishWatch is doing to bring transparency to this issue. https://t.co/m91XY4oAsO

[Mike Conathan 🌊 @Conathan]

Thread: What does the #Beirut_Explosion have to do with international #ocean governance? A lot, as it turns out. Amonium nitrate was stored at port as a direct result of weak oversight by vessels' flag states leading to transportation of unsafe cargo by unsuitable ships.

Another powerful call to action for the climate/ocean/environmental community (and all the rest of the humans too) from @ayanaeliza: "Let’s value human diversity as much as we do biodiversity." #BlackLivesMatter #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice https://t.co/Hnw550L8X4

SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Mining doesnt just hurt the inhabitants of the bottom of the ocean, it has potential to devastate creatures that inhabit ALL depths.
Opinion: Midwater ecosystems must be considered when evaluating environmental risks of deep-sea mining https://t.co/Fs8nGg13CZ

"With so much at stake and so many people depending on oceans for both livelihoods and food, the imperative for healthy oceans is more urgent." Let's make the #BlueEconomy a key component of a post-COVID global recovery. via @WBG_Climate @WorldBank https://t.co/1lxs65662y

The aviation, #shipping & trucking sectors account for almost 14% of global CO2 emissions, which could double by 2050 if no action is taken. Join #IndustryTransitionDay on 7 July to find out what we need to do to transition towards net-zero greenhouse gas https://t.co/quvmncs1xk

[Aspen High Seas @AspenHighSeas]

New piece on the #BlueEconomy from @VulcanInc's @johanbergenas and @OceanLeadership's Adm. Jon White: "The world must stand for a renewed commitment to the health of the ocean... and as it has done so often in the past, America must lead the way."
