Countries agree on the first ever binding targets for global shipping emissions!

The International Maritime Organization has secured agreement on mandatory emissions targets requiring shipping (responsible for around 3% of global emissions) to reach net-zero by 2050.

Starting in 2028, ships that exceed emissions thresholds will face financial penalties up to $380 per ton of CO₂.

This is a big deal - it sends a market-wide signal that efficiency pays, and unlocks an estimated $40 billion in annual carbon revenues, one of the largest pools of climate finance ever created. #shipping #climate #environment #ClimateChange #pollution #decarbonization

Race

In my previous post I speculated on which of the two packages I have shipped over the last few days would arrive at its destination first, thus winning the race. Would it be the USPS package full of 35mm film that shipped out on Saturday or would it be the FedEx envelope with my passport renewal application that shipped out last night?

I have the answer.

The film has arrived at The Darkroom. I can expect my scans to be uploaded to my account in 3-7 business days. In other words, an eternity. Disney and New York on film… coming soon.

Big news:

“Nations have agreed to introduce a worldwide carbon-pricing system for international shipping to drive the sector towards net-zero emissions by 2050.”

It’s a compromise, but sounds like major progress, in a…challenging geopolitical context.
