By advocating for strong market-based measures and cleaner alternative fuels, we’re pushing international policymakers and industry leaders to commit to zero-carbon shipping.  

By reducing emissions of methane, we can hit the brakes on the increasingly rapid warming responsible for more extreme heat waves, stronger storms and rapidly melting Arctic sea ice.

Cutting methane emissions is the fastest opportunity we have to immediately slow the rate of global warming, even as we decarbonise our energy systems. It’s an opportunity we can’t afford to miss.

Globally, our goal is for the world’s wild fisheries to be managed sustainably, providing more fish in the sea, more food, and more prosperity for fishing communities. Key to achieving this is the alignment of incentives so that both the needs of people and the capacity of the oceans are respected.
