Today, the second edition of the European Maritime Transport Environmental Report was released, providing a comprehensive overview of the environmental impact of Europe's maritime sector within the EU, as well as an assessment of practices to make it more sustainable. According to the report, the sector is making progress towards greater sustainability but will need to increase its efforts over the coming years to play its part in meeting 2030 EU climate and environment goals and achieving a climate neutral EU by 2050. The report calls for continued action and increased innovation within the sector. Key tools to achieve sustainable maritime transport in Europe are the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, which incentivises the uptake of low carbon fuels in shipping, and the extension of the EU Emissions Trading System to maritime transport, which sets a carbon price on greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Moreover, global coordination, led by the International Maritime Organisation, will also be crucial for driving progress towards a more sustainable maritime transport future. (....)
