Campaigners maintain that stronger ambition is required given that the 2030 target the IMO is working towards — a 40 percent reduction in carbon-intensity emissions — is not aligned with the ParisAgreement in the first place. waters by 2025 as it works to make domestic shipping net-zero by mid-century.
Key aspects of the new agreement are 2030 targets to effectively halt biodiversity loss and to protect at least 30% of terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine areas, seen as analogous to the globalParisAgreement climate goals to limit warming to 1.5°C.

Almost seven years since the ParisAgreement was signed at COP21, any number of initiatives have been launched with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and limiting global warming to 1.5°C. As these perilous climate projections unfold, one might expect an inevitable upheaval in the globaleconomy.
A letter from 534 financial institutions representing US$29 trillion in assets under management called for policy action in five areas to accelerate private sector investment in a “ just transition to a climate-resilient, nature-positive, net-zero economy”. NDCs are expected to play a central role at this year’s COP.

Financial organisations thus have a major role to play in the decarbonisation of the globaleconomy, yet it is estimated that since the ParisAgreement in 2015, the 60 largest banks have instead invested $5.5 For example, the indicative financed emissions from the UK financial sector in 2019 were found to be 1.8
The resources included deep-dive guidelines for seven sectors – including asset owners, asset managers and banks; high-level guidance for 30 sectors of the globaleconomy; and advice on how to undertake a transition planning cycle.

Released on the eve of last week’s PRI in Person conference, a report from the collaborative investor-led initiative outlined six foundational priorities for investors targeting an environmentally and socially responsible mining sector that can simultaneously meet global demand for minerals and the goals of the ParisAgreement.
The first priority for governments is to ensure their national climate plans (NDCs), due by early 2025, accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. These plans must close the gap between current policies and the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C. Only then can we hope to secure a sustainable future for all.
The EU’s FuelEU Maritime initiative is also set to apply from 1 January 2025. Starting at a 2% reduction in 2025 compared to 2020 intensity levels, it will increase to 6% by 2030, and eventually reach 80% in 2050. It will impose constraints on the average annual GHG intensity of onboard energy used by ships.
