Fit for 55: Decarbonising European Shipping

The transport sector will require fundamental changes to become more sustainable, as it is significantly lagging behind in emissions reductions in comparison with other sectors. So far, shipping is the only transport sector not subject to GHG emission reduction targets or measures in the EU, but this is set to change with several legislations in the Fit for 55 Package targeting the maritime sector.

With the Fit for 55 proposals, EU policymakers finally can address emissions from shipping and its major impact on climate change and air quality.
