A full and equitable decarbonization of international shipping is urgent and achievable. This is the clear message from more than 230 industry leaders and organizations representing the entire maritime value chain, including shipping, cargo, energy, finance, ports, and infrastructure.
Signatories to the Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonization call on governments to work together with industry to deliver the policies and investments needed to reach critical tipping points in decarbonizing global supply chains and the global economy.
The private sector is already taking important steps to decarbonize global supply chains. Now governments must deliver the policies that will supercharge the transition and make zero emission shipping the default choice by 2030.
The signatories for the Call to Action urge governments to:
Commit to decarbonizing international shipping by 2050
Support industrial scale zero emission shipping projects through national action
Deliver policy measures that will make zero emission shipping the default choice by 2030
