Its finally time for a price on GHG emissions from international shipping.

At next week’s negotiations at IMO, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Vanuatu seek agreement to an entry price of at least $100 per tonne of CO₂-equivalent by 2025 for international shipping.

Pacific island countries propose emissions reduction targets for shipping GHG of 37% by 2030 and 96% by 2040.

Pacific nations demand a clear framework of principles for the reduction of GHG emissions from international shipping.

Fiji, Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands propose ways that revenues accruing from the implementation of the Revised IMO Strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships could be used.
