| 摘要： | The American Waterways Operators has announced it is a founding member of a maritime coalition called the Blue Sky Maritime Coalition, a non-profit alliance of maritime stake-holders across North America committed to addressing climate change and achieving a commercially viable net-zero green-house gas emissions marine transportation sector. The interna-tional blue-water maritime sector has been pursuing net-zero for years, led by the International Maritime Organization. While we can't help but point out again that the inland waterways sec-tor is already the greenest form of transportation per ton-mile, more can be done.According to Alok Sharma, president-designate of COP26, "To keep the temperature of the planet under control-lim-iting its increase to 1.5 degrees-the science dictates that by the second half of the century, we should be producing less carbon than we take out of the atmosphere. This is what reaching 'net zero' means." COP26 stands for the 26th meet-ing of the Conference of the Parties, or the U.N. Climate Change Conference to be held November 1-12 this year in Glasgow, Scotland. |
