Accelerating maritime & aviation decarbonisation: a cross-sector perspective

About this event

The importance of decarbonisation in the aviation and maritime sectors has been front and centre this year. The UK’s sixth Carbon Budget not only enshrined a new target of 78% carbon emissions reduction by 2035, but also incorporated the UK’s share of international aviation and shipping emissions for the first time.

The government’s transport decarbonisation plan, published July 2021, sets out the commitments, actions and timings needed to build a UK wide transport system that contributes to a “better, greener Britain”. Accelerating decarbonisation across aviation and maritime forms a central focus of this strategy, as well as being crucial for ‘green’ international trade.
