World Maritime Day is celebrated in September to focus attention on the importance of shipping and other maritime activities. It provides an opportunity to reflect on how the shipping industry can play a critical role in leveraging ‘greener’ innovations towards solving decarbonisation challenges.
The innovations and policy changes include the establishment of ‘green corridors’, green fuels, and plans towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
As September also marked World Tourism Day, Economist Impact's World Ocean Initiative examines the latest trends in the shift to sustainable tourism. Finally, we take a look back at the international negotiations for a new UN treaty to protect the high seas that took place in August.
