Letter to Hedegaard: EU should take the lead to cut GHG emissions from shipping

The EU should pave the way for a global action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. In a letter to Konnie Hedegaard, Commissioner for Climate Change, T&E and other 15 environmental NGOs call on the European Union to work for a market-based measure which would set clear and stringent targets in terms of reducing CO2 emissions from all ships independently from their flagging State.
