"The shipping industry is being lined up as a guinea pig for a world-first: a
global, mandatory charge on greenhouse gas emissions.
The International Maritime Organization — which regulates shipping worldwide —
inched closer toward such a levy at talks held in London this week. The United
Nations agency plans to finalize the detail of the measure next year, and have
it introduced in 2027.
While the timeline is clear, there’s far less certainty about how it will
actually work and whether there will be a significant impact on the emissions
of an industry that carries 80% of world trade and spews more than a billion
tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.
“We will have a pricing mechanism,” said the IMO’s secretary general, Arsenio
Dominguez, in a meeting with journalists at the organization’s London
headquarters. “Of that, I have no doubt.”"
