Recommendation 8
8
Paragraph: 60
Assess merits of introducing voyage-based measure for UK's international shipping emissions contribution.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Government urgently assess the merits of introducing a voyage- based measure of the UK’s contribution to international shipping emissions, so as to provide a sounder basis for developing policy on reducing that contribution. It is in the interests of the industry and policymakers alike that the matter is swiftly clarified, and that the legislation to include international aviation and shipping emissions in the Sixth Carbon Budget is brought before Parliament for approval without further delay.
