Shipping: Carbon Emissions
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what their success criteria are for reaching agreement on reducing the UK’s international shipping emissions in line with Net Zero at the July 2023 meeting of the International Maritime Organisation’s Marine Environment Protection Committee.
- Answer
-
The UK is committed to building consensus to ensure international shipping keeps pace with the Paris goal of 1.5°C degrees and is championing a 2050 target of zero emissions.
While we cannot provide specific comment on success criteria during ongoing negotiations, the UK is working to ensure the Marine Environment Protection Committee agrees a strengthened revision of the 2018 IMO greenhouse gas reduction strategy this July.
