Nations Divided Ahead Of Decisive Week For Shipping Emissions

Members of the International Maritime Organization are divided over a proposed carbon tax on international shipping, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ahead of their meeting next week.

Concerns exist that the European Union might favor a carbon credit system, and alternatives like synthetic fuels are costly, as articulated by Fanny Pointet from Transport and Environment.
