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!

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* (sources below)

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

No public money for polluting tax evaders. State aid for cruise industry must be linked to environmental performance. #HFOban #zerocarbon euractiv.com/section/shippi…

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
 .@maersk .CMA CGM Group .COP26 .@iea

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 ➡️ buff.ly/34FDhm0 #publichealth

✈️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

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 climatechangenews.com/2020/10/15/shi…

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 .Nishan Degnarain LSE .Splash .Ocean Rebellion

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

NEW: National public poll by Climate Nexus Yale University George Mason University 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. pacificenvironment.org/press-releases…
