Greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from global shipping, 2016–2023

To provide an updated global emissions inventory for 2016–2023 using advanced methodologies to support the IMO’s strategy of achieving net-zero GHG emissions in international shipping by 2050, with interim targets for 2030 and 2040, and to evaluate emission trends including the growing impact of methane from LNG-fueled ships and black carbon to inform future decarbonization policies and strategies.
