Delivering a Just Transition in Global Shipping: Maritime Just Transition Task Force Launch
Showing dates/times for
null
Meeting
Urgent actions are needed to fully decarbonize international shipping - the backbone of global trade - by 2050 to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5 temperature goal. To secure a Just Transition to green shipping, the maritime workforce will need to be upskilled, global training standards will need to be strengthened and seafarers will need to have a say. This side event is organised by Global Compact, the ILO, the International Chamber of Shipping and the International Transport Workers’ Federation. It will convene Ministers, union heads, the UN and Industry, to mark the launch of a 10-Point Action Plan by the Maritime Just Transition Task Force - the first global task force dedicated to securing a Just Transition in a sector.
