The Lloyd’s List Podcast: What the ‘Code Red’ climate report means for shipping
from Lloyd's List: The Shipping Podcast · host Lloyd's List
The consensus findings of the world’s leading climate scientists were issued this week as a “code red for humanity”. We are already too late to avert dangerous climate change and can only now manage the amount by which we overshoot our stated target, argues our guest on this week’s podcast, the leading climate expert of low carbon shipping Dr Tristan Smith. He joins Lloyd’s List Editor Richard Meade to discuss the IPCC report, what it means for shipping, why LNG is going to get more expensive and whether there is any optimism he can offer as we consider shipping’s difficult transition to zero carbon.
