Integration of marine transport into the European Emissions Trading System

A new UBA study analyses options for integrating the greenhouse gas emissions from marine transport into the EU emissions trading system. IMO (International Maritime Organization) bodies have not reached agreement so far on substantial climate protection measures in marine transport. If no progress is made at IMO level, integrating marine transport into the European emissions trading system could be a first step on the road towards a global solution.
