IMO Hits Snag on Market-Based Measures To Cut Shipping's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

摘要

A week-long International Maritime Organization working group meeting to assess a range of market-based measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping made little progress, according to members of a trade organization and environmental group attending the session. As in most previous IMO environmental meetings, technical issues took a back seat to debate on the long-unresolved question of whether wealthier nations should pay more than developing countries to reduce shipping emissions, members of the United Kingdom's Chamber of Shinnine and WWF-UK told BNA.
