Green shipping corridors: leveraging synergies

October 12, 2022

Green shipping corridors
In 2021, as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 19 countries, including the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (U.K.), Chile and Australia, signed the Clydebank Declaration, which aims to support the establishment of at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, intending to scale up over the decade. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced its objective to help set up green shipping corridors and provided high-level guidance on the building blocks for green shipping corridors. Maritime decarbonization is a particularly complex challenge with multiple pathways that are at various levels of technological and operational readiness.
