Today's Clean Shipping Act led by Rep. Alan Lowenthal will protect climate, oceans & public health. Congress must pass this vital legislation and put an end to fossil-fueled shipping in our oceans and neighborhoods! Read more: pacificenvironment.org/press-releases…

Reducing emissions is the most important thing we can do for the #ocean. Thank you Senate Democrats for historic investments in a clean energy future that will protect people and the planet. #OceanClimateAction nytimes.com/2022/07/28/cli…

We need you! Instead of taking steps to address #climatechange, attacks on NEPA take us in the wrong direction. SJ 55 will likely lead to more carbon emissions at a time when dramatic reductions are needed. We need our Senators to #ProtectNEPA! earthjustice.org/sites/default/…

Major international talks on cutting the shipping industry’s huge emissions started today at the IMO in London. Here’s what you need to know: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via Bloomberg

I've been off twitter since new management, but negotiations at the #IMO on #ClimateActionNow need broad attention. Arguably the most critical climate meeting this year is now International Maritime Organization. Any country that cares about not exceeding 1.5° should be pushing for that here.

See here for more on the #IMO #climatechange negotiations happening now in London #MEPC80. International Maritime Organization.

A view from the Pacific Islands on the current #IMO #MEPC80 #climateaction debate. Precedent-setting questions on setting a price on emissions are on the table, proposed by countries that stand to lose the most from Climate Change.

#IMO just adopted a new #GHG strategy that raises the bar significantly for cutting emissions from shipping and lays out a path for binding regulations to implement it. Unlike #UNFCCC IMO has authority to regulate the sector, meaning these numbers have teeth! #climateaction

Thanks to Pacific Islands for their leadership on raising ambition at the #IMO. The foundation is laid for a just and equitable transition, including a precedent-setting potential price on carbon. Now the work begins to make it happen. #Climateaction #MEPC80 Joe Lo Albon Ishoda

Couldn't agree more. Much work to do but the #IMO strategy is better, stronger, and more equitable because of the Pacific. #MEPC80 Albon Ishoda @climateaction

I had the pleasure of talking with Mark Leon Goldberg on UN Dispatch about the recent new International Maritime Organization strategy to reduce GHG emissions. What a great way to put things in the global #ClimateAction context! Thanks, Mark! go.shr.lc/3rIdIhq via Shareaholic

The 5th National Climate Assessment is well-timed with #COP28 approaching. The report spotlights the urgent need for the US & the world to reduce emissions & adapt to climate impacts now! #OceanClimateAction is a critical part of the solution!

Because of the #EndangeredSpeciesAct I've spent the holidays watching bald eagles and stellar sea lions in the beautiful Pacific NW... There is more to do, but I salute those with the bipartisan vision to pass this critical law 50 years ago. Let this be an inspiration for us now!

Looking forward to this important conference in what will be another critical year for the #ocean (and #Climate). @OurOceanGreece is the perfect place to make advances on ocean issues - including decarbonizing #shipping, of course! Hope to see you there!

Thank you, @rickspinradnoaa! I am thrilled to be part of the NOAA team. There are so many opportunities to move the #ocean and #climate agendas forward this year!

Thank you, Jane Lubchenco! I look forward to working with you and your team!
