Shipping emissions rise 4.9% in 2021

摘要

GLOBAL shipping's carbon dioxide emissions posted year-on-year gains of 4.9% in 2021 and were higher than 2019, according to Simpson Spence & Young. The rise in emissions over 2021 represents "an inconvenient truth" for the International Maritime Organization, the shipbroker said in its annual industry outlook. The IMO has agreed to cut ships' carbon intensity by 40% by 2030 amid intense criticism for failing to agree on further curbs that will meet international climate-change objectives.
