Major nations agree on first-ever global fee on greenhouse gases with plan that targets shipping
"The agreement, reached with the United States notably absent, 
is expected to be formally adopted at an October meeting to take effect in 2027. The IMO, which regulates international shipping, also set a marine fuel standard to phase in cleaner fuels. "

AP NewsHey #history and #maritime and #shipping expert people:
Here's a dataset about #whaling with some variables I don't understand (neither do the students using it for an intro #statistics project). If you have any insight into what these variables/terms mean, will you share that?
Number of whales struck (does this mean "harpooned," maybe?)
Number of whales tried out (no idea)
The data are here:
"Beyond the net-zero target – and interim emissions targets of up to a 30% emissions reduction by 2030 and up to 80% by 2040 – the 2023 negotiations left crucial elements undecided.
First, a measure to bring in an emissions pricing system that could both encourage ships to cut emissions and raise money for climate action.
The second measure is a global marine fuel standard that would gradually phase in low-carbon fuels for ships around the world."

Shipping nations agree on historic greenhouse gas tax
> From 2027, all ships are required to use less CO2 emitting fuels, or face penalties. It is aimed at forcing the industry to lower its carbon footprint and not everyone is happy with the deal.

Deutsche Welle“the compromise framework is expected to raise $30-40bn by 2030, primarily to support the development of clean shipping.”
#Climate #ClimatePolicy #UN #IMO #Shipping #Transport #GeoPolitics
“As for the framework itself, it includes a lower carbon-intensity target that rises from 4% in 2028 to 30% in 2035, plus an upper target increasing from 17% in 2028 to 43% in 2035.
Any ships that could not reduce their emissions intensity in line with these goals by switching to cleaner fuels would need to pay $100 per tonne of CO2 for exceeding the lower target and $380 per tonne of CO2 for breaching the upper target.”

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.

"The United States has withdrawn from talks in London looking at advancing #decarbonisation in the #shipping sector and Washington will consider "reciprocal measures" to offset any fees charged to U.S. ships, according to a diplomatic note seen by Reuters."
Ryan Petersen on X: "On April 17th the U.S. Trade Representative's office is expected to impose fees of up to $1.5M per port call for ships made in China and for $500k to $1M if the ocean carrier owns a single ship made in China or even has one on order from a Chinese shipyard.

I wonder if one of the consequences of the #TrumpTariffs will be more goods shipped to Canada, then delivered to the US. What's CN trading at?

X (formerly Twitter)WBUR: "The Trump administration is looking to charge cargo ships built by or affiliated with China up to $1.5 million at each port visit. Massport CEO Rich Davey told reporters yesterday the fee could lead to ships bypassing the Port of Boston’s Conley Terminal... a relatively small port. 'We would likely see a number of ships deciding to skip us and probably go right to New York, as an example,' Davey said."
The #UN shipping agency is on the cusp of introducing binding regulations to phase out fossil fuel use in global #shipping — with the world’s first-ever global #emissions levy on the table.
"It would be an absolute game-changer."
This would be absolutely incredible... but my first though with anything good these days is: "Now watch the #US and #Russia stand against it and kill this great thing for humanity"
Trump tells countries to ax talks on #shipping #CarbonTax, or else
"The debate at the MEPC is whether to tax shipping emissions through a fuel standard (a carbon credits trading scheme) or a universal levy (a flat-rate tax on emissions).
However, the U.S. opposes any carbon tax at all."
