NEW: National public poll by @ClimateNexus @Yale @GeorgeMasonU finds a majority of Americans would change where they shop to support cleaner ships! 🚢
70% would stick with #climate leading companies even if clean #shipping raises the price of goods.

The world is moving to #NetZero but the global shipping sector seems to go in the other direction. I call on .@IMOhq delegates to veto the J/5.rev1 proposal and stand on the right side of history #CleanShipping #ClimateActionNow
SCC retweeted
All countries at IMO must reject #J5rev1 next week, as a violation of the Paris Agreement
J5Rev1 is the red line - barely distinguishable from doing nothing
IMO's Initial Strategy is the yellow line
Paris Agreement is the green line

The 2018 #climate deal for shipping included hard-won language of "CO2 emissions reduction consistent with the #ParisAgreement"
Countries at #IMO talks this week must not abandon this in favour of merely *voluntary* CO2 rules until 2030

The European Parliament's environment committee today voted to include #aviation and #shipping emissions in the EU's ambitious climate law
Result just out: a majority of @EP_Environment committee voted to cut our GHG emission by 60% in 2030! Never such an ambitious objective had been adopted. We stir everyone upwards now ! #ClimateLaw #GreenDeal

CARB approves expanded At-berth Regulation, requiring more vessels to control emissions while docked – leading to a 90% ⬇ in harmful #airpollution in & around CA ports

No public money for polluting tax evaders. State aid for cruise industry must be linked to environmental performance. #HFOban #zerocarbon euractiv.com/section/shippin…

Coronavirus risks causing a global recession
But what *type* of economic stimulus do we want, green or dirty?
The $1.5 TRILLION injected by the New York Federal Reserve last week could have paid for the decarbonisation of the *entire global shipping industry*

It won't be a 'transition fuel' when the sector would have spent billions on the infrastructure and on ships themselves, only to realise in 2030s that the GHG problem hasn't disappeared. There are other alternatives to reducing local emissions: scrubbers and distilate fuels
Amie Pascoe, @BLUECOMMS chairs the #GSTEurope panel exploring “Does #LNG have a future as a ship’s fuel?” with Hans Björkestam ESL Shipping, Petra Doubkova @EU_Commission, Carlo Raucci @UMAS_15 and Steve Esau @SEALNGcoalition
