Maritime leaders call on COP26 to commit to decarbonise international shipping by 2050

A multi-stakeholder taskforce convened by the Getting to Zero Coalition – a partnership between the Global Maritime Forum, the World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action, backed by more than 200 industry leaders – has called on governments at the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow to work together with shipping to deliver policies and investments which will commit international shipping to decarbonise by 2050.

Signatories of the call to action also demanded support for industrial-scale zero emission shipping projects through national action and delivery of policy measures that will make zero emission shipping the default choice by 2030.
