International shipping is the engine of the global economy, moving over 80% of our goods.

However, this essential industry operates as a climate blind spot. Its emissions are so vast they would rank as the world's fifth-largest country (!), but they were intentionally excluded from the Paris Agreement. What's the impact of this?

Last week too, the IMO finally reached a major new climate agreement, but the policy is already facing significant political challenges (notably from the US).

Join Simon Messenger and David Carlin as they discuss the emissions, the political turmoil, and the high-stakes future of the shipping industry in this episode.
