There is indeed an urgent need for action: since … emissions from this sector have increased by … . There are many challenges to reducing emissions from the sector, the first being the global nature of this traffic, which is regulated through the IMO. The IMO has recently made commitments to reduce its emissions, but these must now be implemented, between direct reduction and compensation mechanisms.
