Ahoy! With Christina at the helm this week we’re raising our anchor and charting a course into the fascinating and complex world of greening shipping. The shipping industry can feel removed from our daily lives. With images of huge cargo ships criss-crossing the oceans, distant foreign ports and international regulatory bodies with unfamiliar acronyms like the IMO or the GMF, you might even ask yourself: why should I care? We’ll hear how 90% of what we consume, wear and use in our homes comes to us via a ship.  And how the predominant use of dirty fossil fuels means that the shipping industry currently contributes around 3% of the world’s global CO2 - that’s the same as the whole of Germany or Japan’s emissions. But not any more! Christiana and her crew of shipping experts take you on a journey to explore how the shipping industry is at the forefront of an exciting transition to Net Zero, and will explain how greening the maritime sector could help us address the climate emergency. Christiana has been a long and passionate advocate for reform in the shipping industry. With the help of guests such as AP Moller-Maersk’s Senior Vice President, Morten Christiansen; Alejandra Teran from Costa Rica’s Sailcargo; Eric Leveridge, Campaign Lead at Ship it Zero; Ambassador Albon Ishoda, Royal Marshall Islands Presidential Special Envoy for Maritime Decarbonisation, Dr Lucy Gilliam, Seas at Risk, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO, MaerskMcKinney Moller Centre, Cleo Bierneza, Third Officer at Swire Shipping and many more, this deep dive episode will hope to leave no doubt in our listeners’ minds as to why shipping’s path to Net Zero is integral to our current and future life on the planet. How these ships are fuelled now and in the future, why the recent International Maritime Organisation decision was history in the making, how the people working on these ships are treated to ensure a just transition as well as the role that we, the consumers, can play, are all questions that Christiana and her guests tackle during this special episode.   Do let us know what you think!   NOTES AND RESOURCES   GUESTS   Alejandra Terán, Chief Purpose Marketing Officer at Sailcargo LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram   Ambassador Albon Ishoda, Royal Marshall Islands Presidential Special Envoy for Maritime Decarbonisation Twitter | LinkedIn    Bo Cerup-Simonsen, Chief Executive Officer of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping LinkedIn | LinkedIn for Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping   Christine Loh, Chief Development Strategist, Institute for the Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology LinkedIn   Cleo Bierneza, Third Officer at Swire Shipping LinkedIn    Eric Leveridge, Campaign Lead at Ship It Zero   Ingrid Irigoyen, Associate Director, Ocean and Climate, Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Program & President and CEO, Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance Twitter | LinkedIn    Dr Lucy Gilliam, Senior Shipping Policy Officer at Seas at Risk Twitter | LinkedIn  Seas At Risk Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn    Morten Bo Christiansen, Senior Vice President, Head of Energy Transition at A.P.
