REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS
The submission by CSC to the IMO's 77th session argues for a robust carbon pricing mechanism for international shipping that avoids offsets and exemptions. It proposes a high carbon price—potentially $400/tonne or more in this decade—to bridge the gap between fossil and zero-carbon fuels and drive rapid decarbonization. The document emphasizes that revenues should be used for climate rebates to vulnerable nations, such as low-income small island developing States (SIDS), and for investing in zero-emission infrastructure. It further asserts that global IMO measures must not undermine more ambitious regional regulations, such as the EU's plan to include shipping in the EU ETS.
