• Abstract:
  The emission of greenhouse gases from shipping is a serious problem for international climate change policy. They are growing and there is a risk of considerable delay before they are brought under control. The advent of carbon budgets means it is no longer acceptable to argue that it is too hard to find an adequate basis for dealing with emissions from shipping. Emissions from shipping must be taken into account in the UK's carbon budgets. The Government must work out what the UK's share of global emissions from shipping should be. The Government should commission research on the level of emissions from international shipping that would be compatible with delivering the UK's objective of limiting global warming to 2oC.
