Blog: The importance of net zero for economic growth and sustainable development
On 26 September, the Government commissioned a review of the Net Zero Strategy, which was published in October 2021 ahead of COP26, with the aim of better understanding the economic impact of delivering its net zero pathway.
The Net Zero Review, chaired by Chris Skidmore MP, is set to report back to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) by the end of the year. As part of the Review, BEIS launched a related call for evidence during the month of October to gather views from the general public, businesses and other organisations.
Maritime UK has submitted a response to this call for evidence, reiterating the sector’s commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and highlighting the importance of maritime in achieving this ambition across the economy. Maritime UK has identified significant economic opportunities from accelerating progress toward net zero, including energy independence, green finance, manufacturing, and exports, all underpinned by well-paid, high-quality jobs.?
Maritime UK acknowledged a series of significant developments in progressing recommendations under the environment pillar of Maritime 2050, such as an initial ï¿¡206m to establish the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions.?

UK Chamber of Shipping
The UK Chamber of Shipping is the trade association and voice of the UK shipping industry. We work with Government, parliament, international organisations and others to champion and protect the industry on behalf of our members.
It is our mission to deliver for our members trusted specialist expertise, lobbying and influence at a UK level on maritime issues across national, European and international government and governmental bodies. By combining the strength of our members with this expertise we will advance the competitive strength of the industry ensuring that the UK remains as a leader in the global maritime business.
Membership of the UK Chamber gives access to unrivalled policy expertise, an extensive network of industry influencers and a voice in Government and beyond that can simply not be achieved by companies acting alone. It is also the home of the Merchant Navy Training Board (MNTB) that is the shipping industry’s central body for promoting and developing seafarer education, training and skills across specific industry sectors.
We have a dedicated staff with an unparalleled breadth of specialist knowledge and access to Governments at the highest level. We support our members on legislation and regulation that affects their business. As the industry association for UK shipping we create change, influencing Government at Westminster, Whitehall, Holyrood, Brussels and the International Maritime Organization.
With a growing membership of 170 member companies throughout the UK, made up of shipowners, professional organisations and service companies, we do not just seek to raise awareness of shipping; we work to create an understanding of it, ensuring that member companies’ commercial objectives are at the heart of the government process.
