Shipping emissions could be halved without damaging trade, research finds - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/26/shipping-emissions-could-be-halved-without-damaging-trade-research-finds needs to be done as a priority - shipping is dirty
@glynmoody If the world is really interested in reducing #carbon in the #shipping industry, perhaps the real #climateaction would be to dismantle the mafia #fossilfuel footman organisation that is the #IMO. https://oceanrebellion.earth/imo-were-watching-you/ and https://gcaptain.com/a-club-for-old-sailors-new-york-times-article-blasts-imos-secrecy/
@sheislaurence I've not been following the IMO closely, but I'm prepared to believe you...
@glynmoody I think if the NYT, XR and Transparency International have specific claims about the org, it is safe to say it has issues. I am trying to see if the doc mentioned in the article, Black Trail, is the same I saw a couple of years ago. If it was, it was really illuminating about how the org is funded & nominated, & therefore, entirely dependent on lobbies.
