In 1950, world shipping was roughly half a million tonnes of cargo. As of 2019 it's now 11 billion tonnes. A mind blogging increase in 70 years. Shipping is one of the most resistant and slow sectors to clean up its climate act, with only a commitment to reduce emissions by 50% from the International Maritime Organisation at 2050. So what can we do to green maritime trade? And has the answer been blowing in the wind all this time?
This week Ads and Andrew are joined by Dr Christiaan De Beukelaer to discuss his new book "Trade Winds: a voyage to a sustainable future of shipping". We discuss how a couple of weeks of research at sea turned into half a year due to COVID-19, How global shipping made capitalism even more extractive, the realities of going back to sail powered shipping and why the IMO might be more effective compared to other U.N institutions.
