Our submission to the ICJ asks the world’s highest court to confirm that States must do more to address international aviation and shipping’s climate impacts. Our Legal Officer Isabela Keuschnigg explains why.

Pressure builds for charge on global shipping sector's CO2 emissions reut.rs/43tykcb

World's first global carbon price on any sector inches closer to reality, as this week's .IMO talks wrap up.

Exciting times if high-ambition governments can hold their nerve and gain more allies over next 12-18 months

🧵1/2 “ #MEPC81 reaffirmed to us that countries clearly back a GHG emissions levy rather than weaker alternatives, which sends a strong signal for further developing the policy,” said Clean Shipping Coalition president John Maggs.

📺Watch now!📺

Speaking from the IMO Policy Officer Blánaid Sheeran explains how a levy on shipping's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could help to advance a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels, leaving no country behind in the process.🛳️🛳️

🧵1/4

After its support for the Chinese proposal to discount upstream pollution from ships (boosting biofuels and LNG), worrying Norway would push for lowering emission values for fossil fuels.

We need Norway to step up at the IMO.

Norway is actively lobbying for its fossil gas interests at the UN climate #shipping talks, with officials pushing for “conservative” emissions values for fossil fuels.

Translation: we want the gas we sell to ships to count less towards climate change.

Stop this madness now! 😡

Reminder: Norway agreed to a historic deal to cut #shipping emissions by 30% by 2030 and 80% by 2040.

Any comments, Norway MFA Samferdselsdep Jon-Ivar Nygård Andreas Bjelland Eriksen Klima- og miljødep? 👇👀

🚢 This week, States are at the IMO to discuss the measures to support shipping's decarbonisation.

Introducing a levy would provide funding to ensure no country is left behind in the transition - especially those bearing the most negative impacts of the climate crisis.

“A good levy will generate significant revenues and these ought to be allocated first towards climate vulnerable countries. All eyes must be on the IMO, where final decisions will be taken,” says our Senior Shipping Manager Ana Laranjeira in Climate Home News.

🚢 Cargo shipping contributes 3% to global emissions and countries need to make sure it’s part of the #COP28 fossil fuel phase-out conversation!

Earlier this year, the United Nations shifted the shipping industry toward a zero-emission future and the COP28 UAE must continue that…

#COP28 : Fossil fuels deal must include shipping!

#DYK 'If #shipping were a country, it would be the 6th largest carbon emitter, eclipsing Germany' 🤯

Read Shaama Sandooyea's personal reflection ↓ news.mongabay.com/2023/12/any-fo…

Activist Shaama Sandooyea calls on #COP28 to include global #shipping in its fossil fuels phase out deal.

This would:
🌏🌫️ Cut massive emissions
🛢️🫗 Prevent environmental disasters
📢🇺🇳 Drive more ambition at IMO

Full explainer ↓ #ClimateAction news.mongabay.com/2023/12/any-fo…

The EU's decision to include shipping in its Emissions Trading System ( #EUETS ) is an example of the concrete climate action countries at #COP28 can take.

It makes polluters pay and raises funds for the clean energy transition.

Here's an example: carbonmarketwatch.org/2023/11/10/ref…

EU ETS for #shipping is one of the biggest climate successes we needed this year.

Shipping will finally pay for its pollution while generating $$$ to help fund its clean transition.

With #COP28 in full swing, the EU's decision to include #shipping in its carbon market is an example of countries taking action on huge polluters.

🇪🇺 EU ETS makes shipping pay for its emissions while generating funding for the industry's clean transition. 🎉 @eu2023es @BelgiumEU

EU ETS for #shipping is arguably one of the most important climate laws the EU agreed in 2023.

The rules require shipping to pay for its pollution, with minimal impacts on the industry.
