Under pressure to decarbonize a global shipping industry that emits more CO2 each year than the U.K. and France combined, the world’s governments agreed a plan -- to make a plan.

NEW: National public poll by @ClimateNexus @Yale @GeorgeMasonU finds a majority of Americans would change where they shop to support cleaner ships! 🚢 70% would stick with #climate leading companies even if clean #shipping raises the price of goods. https://t.co/aOyzq8HAD6

The world is moving to #NetZero but the global shipping sector seems to go in the other direction. I call on .@IMOhq delegates to veto the J/5.rev1 proposal and stand on the right side of history #CleanShipping #ClimateActionNow

All countries at IMO must reject #J5rev1 next week, as a violation of the Paris Agreement J5Rev1 is the red line - barely distinguishable from doing nothing IMO's Initial Strategy is the yellow line Paris Agreement is the green line .@NishDegLse .@Splash_247 .@oceanrebellion

The 2018 #climate deal for shipping included hard-won language of "CO2 emissions reduction consistent with the #ParisAgreement" Countries at #IMO talks this week must not abandon this in favour of merely *voluntary* CO2 rules until 2030 https://t.co/SZ95md2u5j

Ship efficiency measures backed by a broad coalition of 14 countries will fail to reduce emissions in line with industry and Paris climate goals, campaigners warn

✈️and 🚢pollution left behind no more! The European Parliament's environment committee today voted to include #aviation and #shipping emissions in the EU's ambitious climate law
Result just out: a majority of @EP_Environment committee voted to cut our GHG emission by 60% in 2030! Never such an ambitious objective had been adopted. We stir everyone upwards now ! #ClimateLaw #GreenDeal

CARB approves expanded At-berth Regulation, requiring more vessels to control emissions while docked – leading to a 90% ⬇ in harmful #airpollution in & around CA ports ➡️ https://t.co/OTkag0dyWH

No public money for polluting tax evaders. State aid for cruise industry must be linked to environmental performance. #HFOban #zerocarbon

The US has shut out the cruise industry from its $2 trillion pot of bailout money but in Europe, everything is still up for grabs. It should not be given a blank cheque, writes Sönke Diesener.

Coronavirus risks causing a global recession But what *type* of economic stimulus do we want, green or dirty? The $1.5 TRILLION injected by the New York Federal Reserve last week could have paid for the decarbonisation of the *entire global shipping industry* (sources below)

It won't be a 'transition fuel' when the sector would have spent billions on the infrastructure and on ships themselves, only to realise in 2030s that the GHG problem hasn't disappeared. There are other alternatives to reducing local emissions: scrubbers and distilate fuels
Amie Pascoe, @BLUECOMMS chairs the #GSTEurope panel exploring “Does #LNG have a future as a ship’s fuel?” with Hans Björkestam ESL Shipping, Petra Doubkova @EU_Commission, Carlo Raucci @UMAS_15 and Steve Esau @SEALNGcoalition
