Cargo Ships Must Cut Their Emissions in Half by 2050
(From ScienceNews.org)
A new, hard-fought international deal will set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping for the first time.
Delegates to the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization, or IMO, met for a week in London to hash out the details of the plan. On April 13, more than 170 states agreed to the new road map, which aims to reduce shipping emissions at least 50 percent below 2008 levels by 2050.
Currently, international shipping emissions make up about 2 to 3 percent of global emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane. That’s roughly on par with Germany’s annual emissions. And a 2014 IMO report calculated that international shipping emissions were on track to increase 50 to 250 percent by 2050. These emissions were not included in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, the international pact to limit global warming to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius (SN: 1/9/16, p. 6).

Those now 173 nations have exactly how many flagged ships ?(100 delegates attended http://www.imo.org/en/MediaCentre/PressBriefings/Pages/06GHGinitialstrategy.aspx)
Nothing agreed in fact until the next assembly meeting -the 31st session, which this was not (the last one was November 2017) and we have the problem that those members are not published.
