For the end of the next week, the International Maritime Organization committed to reinforce its ambition, criticized for much time as weak by environmental activists, to reduce the annual emissions of shipping by 20th of 2019.

Los países pobres no están unidos en la oposición. The Marshall Islands, which are particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels as a result of climate change, have requested a tax of $100 per tonne on emissions. Albon Ishoda, the country’s ambassador to the International Maritime Organization, has expressed his concern that the level of “polarization is becoming useless”, and some of the discussions do not comply with national commitments.
Ironically, he added, some developing countries have complained that a tax on shipping emissions would increase their financial burden and, at the same time, they are asking that the money generated by the measure not be invested outside the shipping industry.

The diplomatic note reflects the comments of Prime Minister Li Qiang, who argued in an event of the World Economic Forum last week: “It is just that developing countries comply with the standards of developed countries.” Los países desarrollados should assume more responsibilities to face the climate challenge”. He said.
In a summit in Paris last week, France and other rich countries asked the International Maritime Organization to establish objectives that would align maritime transport with international ambitions to limit global warming and limit global warming. He is planning to impose a financial cost on transport pollution to bring the sector to a emission trading scheme.
Las advertencias de China sobre los efectos de tales medidas fueron repesiidas la semana pasada por el Banco Mundial, un prestamista para los países en desarrollo. Argumentó en un blog que permitir un más amplio uso de los ingresos por impuestos sobre las misiones apoyaría a los países que tienen pocas oportunidades de invertir directamente en el transporte marítimo.
