A study commissioned by the IMO has found that carbon emissions from shipping rose in the six-year period to 2018 and accounted for 2.89 per cent of the world’s CO2. The report indicated that CO2 emissions from shipping had raised to 2.89 per cent in 2018 from 2.76 per cent in 2012, when the last study period ended. CO2 emissions grew to 1,056 million tonnes in 2018 versus 962 million tonnes in 2012. The IMO said its Marine Environment Protection Committee would consider the study when it next meets.
