🚢 New report! A Just and Equitable Transition for Shipping 🚢
A new global emissions fee has been agreed for shipping – set to raise ~$10B/year to go into the IMO Net-Zero Fund.
But how the money is spent will decide whether this is a win for climate justice – or a giveaway to big polluters. 🧵

🚢 Shipping’s getting a price on its pollution
The IMO just approved the first global GHG pricing mechanism for ships. It’s historic but too slow and too weak to meet climate goals. Modelling shows that it won’t cut emissions more than 10% by 2030. 🔗: bit.ly/4jAlzUF
