Submission to the European Commission on including maritime transport emissions in the EU's greenhouse gas reduction commitment
Summary
Carbon Market Watch urges the EU to integrate shipping emissions into its climate policy to act as a global leader and ensure real emission reductions with high environmental integrity.
Key insights
- The EU should act quickly to address shipping emissions to help limit global warming to below 2°C and serve as a model for future international climate systems, as EU decisions often act as "blueprints for decisions on UN level."
- Legislation regarding shipping in EU climate policy must prioritize the delivery of actual sector reductions and maintain the highest level of environmental integrity and contribution to sustainable development.
