Summary: Maurice Meehan, Operations Lead of Shipping Efficiency at Carbon War Room, is in Bonn Germany for COP23, a two-week long yearly conference held along with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—a formal meeting to assess country progress in dealing with climate change. Currently, shipping emissions levels account for more than Germany (2.6% of global emissions)—and at this rate by 2050, this number is estimated to grow between 50 and 250%. Meehan explains the history of shipping's role in international climate negotiations, and shipping efficiency's outlook for the next 20 years.
