Invitation to Press Conference "Delivering net-zero shipping by 2050: Introducing the Green Balance Mechanism"
The global shipping regulator, the UN International Maritime Organisation, has set a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 for the industry, and now needs to develop climate regulations by 2025 that make it possible to reach that target. One of the core challenges is how to craft a global greenhouse gas pricing regulation that can bridge the price gap between the cleanest fuels and fossil fuels, driving investments in renewable fuels, without imposing an outsized cost on the global economy.
As member nations are preparing for climate negotiations at MEPC 81, the World Shipping Council is bringing to the table a new approach to greenhouse gas pricing that makes possible a global financial measure that is both efficient and cost effective.
Join us on-line to hear from leading container carrier CEOs and WSC environmental experts about the challenges to decarbonisation, and to learn more about this new proposal that can help overcome them.
Presenting:
- Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO, Hapag-Lloyd
- Jeremy Nixon, CEO, ONE (Ocean Network Express)
- John Butler, CEO, World Shipping Council
- Bryan Wood-Thomas, VP Environment & Climate, World Shipping Council
When: Thursday 15 February at 08:30 CET/15:30 Singapore
