Speaking ahead of a busy autumn of international climate negotiations, Starmer insisted the UK would join with those countries calling for more ambitious commitments on climate finance reforms and decarbonisation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, he argued governments &#8220;must put a price on the true cost of emissions through a new levy on global shipping with the proceeds going to tackle climate change and cut emissions even further&#8221;. The intervention came ahead of the start of the latest round of talks for the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), which kicks off today in London. The Committee will once again discuss a series of proposals designed to accelerate efforts across the global shipping industry to deliver on its long term goal of net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Delaine McCullough, president of the Clean Shipping Coalition of green NGOs, said there was &#8216;growing support for a ship greenhouse gas levy and fuel standard&#8217;. &#8220;These need to be urgently agreed, but they are not enough on their own,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Unless IMO member states show an equal commitment to revision of the organisation&#8217;s energy efficiency rules &#8211; the CII &#8211; international shipping will be unable to meet the crucial emission-reduction targets that it agreed only last year.<\/p>\n<p>Having the GHG levy and fuel standard, along with the CII revision, will ensure the shipping sector maximises energy efficiency to immediately cut emissions, drive the uptake of onboard wind and solar propulsion and investment in scalable zero-emission fuels, and guarantee an equitable and just transition to zero-emission shipping.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the Paris Agreement in 2015, governments have been negotiating a range of policy interventions to help ensure the shipping industry meets its net zero targets. However, the talks have been repeatedly stymied by opposition from some countries to measures they fear could push up the cost of shipping and impact global trade. The IMO talks this week are the first in a string of international climate meetings this autumn, including the upcoming COP16 Biodiversity Summit in Colombia and the COP29 Climate Summit in Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4364996\/keir-starmer-calls-emissions-levy-global-shipping\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4364996\/keir-starmer-calls-emissions-levy-global-shipping\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/keir-starmer-calls-for-new-emissions-levy-on-global-shipping\/\">Keir Starmer calls for new emissions levy on global shipping<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16314,16315,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-emissions-levy","tag-global-shipping","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
