The United Nations shipping agency is on belonging to the introduction of the rules of mandatory for stopping the use of fossil fuel in world delivery – with The world’s first charged global release On the table.
This week, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will hold talks at London’s headquarters to knock out the climate reduction of international delivery, which which is the bill Approximately 3% of carbon global emissions.
Some measures On the table Include a global sea fuel standard and an economical element, such as a long debate with carbon collection or credit carbon scheme.
If it is implemented, a reliable pricing mechanism in the shipping sector is likely to be considered one of the climate transactions of the decade.
However an ambitious tax sweeping us tariffsbrewing The global trade war And the unwillingness of the members firmly oppose any structure of the penalty.
Sarah Edmanson, Head of World Propaganda in Australian Gigian Giant FortescueNegotiations described as “absolutely historical”, especially given the potential of carbon collection.
“I think it would be a completely change in the game. No other industry at the world level has made a commitment on this size, and I would claim that most countries did not make obligations on this size,” said Edmondson CNBC by phone.
However, she added that “the jury is still a lot” when it comes to the world of carbon.
In fact, this is not the question of whether they get an agreement, it is exactly how ambitiously it is, how effective and how many unhappy people are there.

President of the Coalition on Pure Delivery
“There is also a lot of discussions around the national teams, because obviously the word gathering in very polarized countries, such as the United States as Australia and even China, can be a very difficult task. But I think there are really good discussions around the structures that will eventually have an equivalent effect,” Edmonds said.
The IMO Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) is planned At the conclusion of the negotiations on Friday.
“Great opportunity”
Some of the largest supporters of the global gas emissions in the shipping industry include Pacific Island States, such as Fiji, Marshall Islands and Vanuata, as well as Caribbean states, including Barbadas, Jamaica and Grenada.
Those who oppose carbon collection such as Brazil, China and Saudi Arabia have caused concern about economic competitiveness and improving inequalities.
“For countries such as Vanuata … We see that the NNCC does not move fast enough – and this is a great opportunity,” said Vanuat Ralph Regenwan on Monday.

UNFCC refers to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, a multilateral contract that has served as a basis for International climatic negotiations.
If accepted, it would be “the first industry measure adopted by a multilateral UN organization, with much larger teeth than we could get in the UNCCC process,” Regenevan said.
Delegates to imo agreed In 2023 on the target Net-Zero The emission of the sector “by 2050 and approximately established a provision on the completion of a medium -sized basket to reduce carbon in 2025.
Requires a “crucial” economic measure
“We’re going to get something,” said John Maggs, President of the Clean Shipping Coalition, an NGO group with an IMO observer status, CNBC said by phone.
“The schedule is quite clear, and they work very, very difficult to follow. So, I think it is not a question whether they get an agreement, this is exactly how ambitiously, how effective and how much unhappy people,” Maggs said.
Maggs Clean Shipping Coalition warned that Imo still has a significant gap between progressive and more conservative forces.
“My feeling on the progressive side is that people are optimistic and confident because the matter they create is a sound, and they have technical experience to reinforce them,” Maggs said.
“But, in the end, China and Brazil and others will not just go,” Okay, you can have your way. “There will be a payment that is in demand anyway,” he added.

International Delivery Sector that is liable For transportation, about 90% of global trade is considered as one of the most difficult industries to decarbonize, given the large amount of fossil fuels that the ships burn every year.
Andji Farat-Tibra, vice-president of the world transport at the Environmental Protection Fund, ecological group, said IMO will be an ambitious world standard of fuel and a “decisive” economic measure to ensure a significantly reduction in delivery contamination.
“These measures, which should include a fair payment mechanism that uses existing climate financing structures, will encourage ship owners to reduce the use of fossil fuels and take zero and zero fuel and technology, while maintaining climatic regions with speed and scale,” said the Pragor-Taku.
