World's first-ever global emissions tax is on the table at crunch shipping talks

Although far from a foregone conclusion, a robust pricing mechanism in the shipping sector would be considered one of the climate deals of the decade.

Imagine if we could clean up one of the world’s dirtiest industries while also raising funds for clean fuels.

Good news: we can.

This week the IMO will decide if this becomes a reality.

In recent years I have often commended the changed course in IMO, as it did indeed seem like there was a credible plan towards a global tax of significance.

"During #MEPC83, IMO member states must knuckle down and approve an ambitious fuel standard and a high levy on all GHG emissions from ships - or risk missing the IMO’s goals for emission reduction and clean energy uptake, with the threat of increasing inequity.”
