UKRI Stories | Emissions:Impossible #1: How to make shipping more sustainable @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Ninety per cent of everything we buy comes to the UK via the shipping network - making up three per cent of all global carbon emissions. By 2050 that could be 10% of all emissions. So how do we tackle this problem now?
In episode one journalist Kim McAllister is joined by Claire Spooner from @EPSRCvideo to talk about our reliance on shipping, how it impacts climate change and what can be done to reduce its effect.
07:35 Dr Tristan Smith on how to decarbonise the shipping network - and how you could choose to pay for slower, more sustainable shipping.
19:39 Professor Alice Larkin from the University of Manchester on practical things already happening to reduce emissions from ships.
Welcome to Emissions: Impossible, our podcast showcasing some of the most ground-breaking research and innovation in climate change, every Thursday.
