Concludes that, if the world were otherwise on a 2 degree pathway while shipping emissions maintained a business-as-usual trajectory, total shipping emissions could reach 18% of worldwide GHG emissions by 2050.
Captured an inventory of emissions from international shipping, and outlines emissions scenarios out to 2050.
Examines UK negotiations to tackle shipping emissions at an international level, domestic carbon budgets, and operational improvements and technological R&D.
