Despite the rise in emissions, a more ambitious IMO strategy and industry actions towards technology adoption positions shipping on a positive track for a net-zero pathway.
Stated energy transition goals
- United Nations (UN) specialized agency IMO aims for at least 20%, striving for a 30% reduction in absolute emissions by 2030 (vs 2008) and net-zero emissions by or around 2050.74
- 51% of large publicly traded shipping companies consider climate change in their decision-making processes.75
Emission focus areas for tracker
Shipping emissions can be divided into two main categories considering well-to-wake:
