The study, commissioned by Seas At Risk and entitled "The State of Shipping and the Oceans", was released as governments from around the world gathered at the IMO in London to agree on a new climate strategy for shipping. The report concludes that all previous attempts to curb the harmful impacts of shipping, including its impact on the climate, have failed and that The maritime sector has repeatedly failed to reduce its emissions and contribute its fair and equitable share to tackling the climate crisis. While IPCC climate science calls for "deep and rapid reductions" across sectors to avoid exceeding the 1.5°C warming limit set by the Paris Agreement, maritime emissions are projected to increase exponentially.
