New shipping/climate research from @TyndallManc assesses:
i) whether the new @IMOHQ targets are compatible with Paris climate goals
ii) what these targets mean for the imminent refresh of the UK @transportgovuk Clean Maritime Plan

Sails + Googlemaps = huge cuts in shipping pollution.
New research, led by @jamesclimate @TyndallManc

The world has warmed on average ~1°C in the last 80 years. Where will it go in the next 80?
* It looks like we have avoided the worse >3°C
* Current action is consistent with 2-3°C (& rising after 2100)
* Emissions need to go net zero <2100 to ensure <2°C, the earlier the better!

Three Decades of Climate Mitigation
What have we achieved?
* 60% rise in fossil CO₂ emissions
* Half of all fossil CO₂ emitted (since 1990)
* Developed countries dominate CO₂ emissions per person

The @IMOHQ set their climate targets against a 2008 baseline.
@TyndallManc calculates that since 2008, shipping has already used half of its Paris-compatible carbon budget for 1.5 degrees.
@IMOHQ needs to set tougher climate targets and policies asap, #MEPC77

Kevin Anderson (@KevinClimate), energy and climate change professor, says compared to world leaders making decisions at #COP26 “the protestors and the civil society movements … are much more in line with what the science is calling for.”

Priority is cutting emissions this decade, argues @AliceClimate @TyndallManc at #cop26 shipping event by @MalinGroup
James Mason retweeted
Can shipping cut emissions fast enough? 50 or so captains and crew here, charting a course at @MalinGroup #cop26 event, here's the map so far: lots of pink = (concerns) but also yellow (hope), and blue (ideas)...

With #COP26 underway, check out our latest blog by researchers from @TyndallManc outlining new research by @AliceClimate @simonbullock @JamesClimate setting out what shipping needs to do to play its part in meeting the Paris climate goals.

This infographic shows research carried out by the Tyndall Centre’s shipping group: estimating shipping sector carbon budgets, understanding committed emissions, understanding the context, barriers and opportunities and quantifying solutions. More here: tyndall.ac.uk/news/infrograp…

In this video, Dr @JamesClimate presents research by @TyndallManc on #shipping's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and how the sector can change to help meet climate change goals.

To coincide with #MitigationSolutions day, we've a number of new blogs online 📢💬
@simonbullock, @JamesClimate and @AliceClimate from @TyndallCentre discuss 'Climate Change: getting shipping back on course' 🛳️

'Air Lubrication Systems' reduce the viscous resistance component of the hull of the ship by creating a layer of air bubbles below the hull of the ship. This reduces frictional resistance between the hull and the seawater @TheICCT says it can reduce up to 10% of fuel consumption

We stand with @RMI_Govt and Solomon Islands in calling for a $100 levy on #climate emissions from #shipping.
The world has already warmed to ~1.3C. A $2 levy on fuel is not a "moonshot" and industry knows it.

@simonbullock @JamesClimate @Lois_climate @AliceClimate @Andrew_welfle @KA_Nicholas @sachbon @lwhitmarsh @steviedubyu Data is for European states engaged in Eurocontrol. Though data is for 2020 (Covid year), similar figures exist for 2019 (6% flights gave rise to 48% of CO2).
6.2% of 2020 flights were over 4,000km, but caused 51.9% of emissions! eurocontrol.int/sites/defaul…

Great graphic from the @CAST_Centre
#BehaviourChange and #SystemChange interact dynamically and are two sides of the same coin.
Our new briefing on Achieving Low Carbon and Equitable Lifestyle Change, produced in collaboration with @TheSmithSchool and @ClimateOutreach, is now available.

Listen to the Tyndall Talks, a podcast series where we untangle questions on climate change. Is carbon offsetting not as good as we think? What's the impact of Brexit on climate policies? What is green recovery post COVID? All these and more on Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music!
