A G7 environment and transport meeting in Sapporo, Japan, has reiterated its commitment to achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by 2050.
The announcement will add pressure on the International Maritime Organization to follow at a critical Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) meeting in July that will decide whether to match the G7 target.
The G7 grouping of developed economies said it is committed to “strengthen global efforts to achieve GHG life cycle zero emissions from international shipping by 2050 at the latest”.
