SCC

A multi-university and cross-industry consortium looking at the future of shipping in a carbon constrained world

[Jack Wittels @JWittels]

Cleaning up shipping is a key part of the bigger decarbonization story -- it's slow going at the industry's global regulator https://t.co/V1ZwhsLSkS via @business

[Pacific Environment @pacenvironment]

NEW: National public poll by @ClimateNexus @Yale @GeorgeMasonU finds a majority of Americans would change where they shop to support cleaner ships! 🚢

70% would stick with #climate leading companies even if clean #shipping raises the price of goods.

The world is moving to #NetZero but the global shipping sector seems to go in the other direction. I call on .@IMOhq delegates to veto the J/5.rev1 proposal and stand on the right side of history #CleanShipping #ClimateActionNow

[Cleaner Ships = Safer World @CleanerShips]

All countries at IMO must reject #J5rev1 next week, as a violation of the Paris Agreement

J5Rev1 is the red line - barely distinguishable from doing nothing
IMO's Initial Strategy is the yellow line
Paris Agreement is the green line

.@NishDegLse .@Splash_247 .@oceanrebellion

[Laurence Tubiana @LaurenceTubiana]

The 2018 #climate deal for shipping included hard-won language of "CO2 emissions reduction consistent with the #ParisAgreement"
Countries at #IMO talks this week must not abandon this in favour of merely *voluntary* CO2 rules until 2030

✈️and 🚢pollution left behind no more!

The European Parliament's environment committee today voted to include #aviation and #shipping emissions in the EU's ambitious climate law

[CARB @AirResources]

CARB approves expanded At-berth Regulation, requiring more vessels to control emissions while docked – leading to a 90% ⬇ in harmful #airpollution in & around CA ports

[Christiana Figueres @CFigueres]

100+ countries meeting virtually at .@imohq July 6-10 to discuss how to decarbonise the global #shipping industry.
Binding rules on #efficiency of all 60,000 ships is essential first step to put sector on 1.5C pathway

[Sönke Diesener @SDiesener]

No public money for polluting tax evaders. State aid for cruise industry must be linked to environmental performance. #HFOban #zerocarbon https://t.co/RJGHI1RtAO

[IMOclimate @IMOclimate]

Coronavirus risks causing a global recession

But what *type* of economic stimulus do we want, green or dirty?

The $1.5 TRILLION injected by the New York Federal Reserve last week could have paid for the decarbonisation of the *entire global shipping industry*

[UMAS @UMAS_15]

It won't be a 'transition fuel' when the sector would have spent billions on the infrastructure and on ships themselves, only to realise in 2030s that the GHG problem hasn't disappeared. There are other alternatives to reducing local emissions: scrubbers and distilate fuels

[Global Maritime Forum @glmforum]

Today, 100 members of the #GettingtoZeroCoalition are convening for the first workshop in Copenhagen. The different workstreams throughout the day are going to focus on 4 main topics. We look forward to sharing the outcome of this important meeting with you!

Good turnout and discussions on day 2 of the @IMOHQ 2020 and alternative fuels symposium. Some key messages from @tristanps from @UMAS_15 @UCL_Energy

Lloyd’s Register is among senior leaders in #maritime that have signed up to #GettingtoZeroCoalition, a partnership between the @glmforum , the Friends of Ocean Action, and @wef. https://t.co/Tb1RFtkLxz

[Global Maritime Forum @glmforum]

#GettingtoZeroCoalition: Powerful alliance of 60+ companies within maritime, energy and finance sectors, supported by key governments and IGOs demonstrate #ClimateAction by committing to have deep sea zero emission vessels operating on the seas by 2030.
