Accepting a growing push to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, the International Chamber of Shipping has committed the industry to deliver net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

COP26 looms
The industry group's support for a more ambitious decarbonisation target comes amid rising calls for urgent action to combat GHG emissions ahead of the COP26 climate conference, which is scheduled to bring world leaders together at the end of this month in Glasgow.
