A draft document seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-07-03\/nations-haggle-over-targets-to-cut-shipping-s-huge-emissions#xj4y7vzkg\">Bloomberg<\/a> on Friday saw the shipping industry agreeing to attempt to hit net zero \u201caround\u201d 2050 with a contentious proposal to levy a tax on shipping emissions, and other proposals including introducing limits to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions relative to energy used on ships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The proposed taxation has triggered a response from China,<\/strong> which has urged developing nations to oppose what it described as an \u201cunrealistic\u201d global levy on shipping emissions. China warned that \u201can overly ambitious emission reduction target will seriously impede the sustainable development of international shipping, significantly increase the cost of the supply chain and will adversely impede the recovery of the global economy.\u201d Beijing also said that rich countries were pushing the IMO to \u201creach unrealistic visions and levels of ambition\u201d through a levy that would lead to a significant spike in maritime transport costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER-<\/strong> The proposed tax <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/93f3ec0c-5d58-4e81-b2d3-8aed04137af1\">was discussed<\/a> during the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris in June, where French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the necessity for a global levy on shipping and aviation to help fund climate action.
