Shipping in changing climates

Abstract

a b s t r a c tThe shipping industry faces an uncertain future, as the climate change challenges faced by all sectors become increasingly urgent and apparent. If a quantitative interpretation of the goals laid out in the Paris Agreement is applied, shipping, along with all sectors combusting fossil fuel, faces substantial challenges in order to successfully decarbonise over the coming decades. Targeted at addressing gaps in knowledge and understanding across technical, operational and demand-side changes, this collection of articles presents some of the latest analysis to consider the opportunities available, and barriers to be overcome, to enable shipping's low carbon transition and the sustainability of global trade.

Itsas-ingurumen iraunkorraren bidean: ia emisiorik gabeko ikerketa ontzi hibridoak

“…Izan ere, bai energiaren kostua bai ingurumenaren aldeko konpromisoak direla eta, operazio eta prozesuen eraginkortasun energetikoa aukera bat izatetik beharrizan bat izatera igaro da [24]. Hori dela eta, azken urteotan, itsas sektoreko agente desberdinak neurriak diseinatzen eta garatzen hasi dira berriki aipatutako mugen barruan [25]. Ontzi barruko energia-kontsumo aurrezpen estrategiak ondo definitu behar dira.…”
