217. Greening Shipping
Ahoy! With Christiana at the helm this week we\u2019re raising our anchor and charting a course into the fascinating and complex world of greening shipping.
The shipping industry can feel removed from our daily lives. With images of huge cargo ships criss-crossing the oceans, distant foreign ports and international regulatory bodies with unfamiliar acronyms like the IMO or the GMF, you might even ask yourself: why should I care?
We\u2019ll hear how 90% of what we consume, wear and use in our homes comes to us via a ship. \xa0And how the predominant use of dirty fossil fuels means that the shipping industry currently contributes around 3% of the world\u2019s global CO2 - that\u2019s the same as the whole of Germany or Japan\u2019s emissions.
But not any more! Christiana and her crew of shipping experts take you on a journey to explore how the shipping industry is at the forefront of an exciting transition to Net Zero, and will explain how greening the maritime sector could help us address the climate emergency.
Christiana has been a long and passionate advocate for reform in the shipping industry. With the help of guests such as AP Moller-Maersk\u2019s Senior Vice President, Morten Christiansen; Alejandra Teran from Costa Rica\u2019s Sailcargo; Eric Leveridge, Campaign Lead at Ship it Zero; Ambassador Albon Ishoda, Royal Marshall Islands Presidential Special Envoy for Maritime Decarbonisation, Dr Lucy Gilliam, Seas at Risk, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO, MaerskMcKinney Moller Centre, Cleo Bierneza, Third Officer at Swire Shipping and many more, this deep dive episode will hope to leave no doubt in our listeners\u2019 minds as to why shipping\u2019s path to Net Zero is integral to our current and future life on the planet.
How these ships are fuelled now and in the future, why the recent International Maritime Organisation decision was history in the making, how the people working on these ships are treated to ensure a just transition as well as the role that we, the consumers, can play, are all questions that Christiana and her guests tackle during this special episode.
