Global shipping faces a climate reckoning

The shipping industry moves 90% of world trade—and produces nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this episode of 'The Lid is On', Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), explains how a new UN agreement sets the sector on a path to net zero by 2050, introduces a global carbon pricing plan, and addresses concerns from the world’s most vulnerable economies.
