Calling all ships - Reduce emissions!

artikkelikuva: Calling all ships - Reduce emissions!

Ships are responsible for more than 18 percent of some types of air pollutants. Reducing such emissions is a crucial step in the battle against global climate change. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and others have estimated that carbon dioxide emissions from shipping were equal to 2.5 percent of the global human-made emissions in 2019. They are expected to rise by 50 to 250 percent before the year 2050 if no action is taken.
