世界正面临气候紧急情况. Urgent action is needed to limit global warming to 1.5ºC or we will face disastrous consequences. Responsible for transporting 90% of global trade 和 supplying the world with food, 燃料, 药品和货物, the global shipping 行业 accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
90% of world trade is carried by sea 和 this percentage is even higher for most developing countries. 通过向世界提供食物, 燃料, 药品和货物, the global shipping 行业 accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
经过漫长的历史风, 以煤和石油为燃料的船舶, 第四次推进革命, 需要超过1万亿美元的投资, is now underway for shipping to shift away from conventional ‘bunker’ 燃料s 和 transition towards alternative low- 和 zero-carbon 燃料s 和 technologies, in order to reach an ambitious climate target of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
关于专责小组
的 ‘海上公正过渡工作队’ is an unprecedented initiative, 在格拉斯哥举行的第26届缔约方大会期间设立的, by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), 联合国全球契约(UNGC), the International Labour Organization (ILO) 和 the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to ensure that shipping’s response to the climate emergency puts seafarers at the heart of the solution, supported by globally established Just Transition principles.
It is the first global sectoral task force dedicated to a ‘Just Transition’ 和 seeks to strengthen 和 coordinate collaboration between governments, 行业, 工人, academia – 和 their representatives – towards a safe, equitable 和 human-centred approach to the transition towards a decarbonised shipping 行业.
A Just Transition is a people-centred response to addressing the climate emergency. 根据国际劳工组织, this means greening the economy in a way that is as fair 和 inclusive as possible, 创造体面的工作机会.
专责小组战略参与框架
的 Task Force is supported by a ‘Global Industry Peer Learning Group’ (GIPLG), comprising representatives from international organisations, 私营企业, 工人 和 academia (including training providers). This international collaborative group serves as a platform for these global partners to engage in strategic dialogue around the main themes of Maritime Just Transition, complementary to shipping’s decarbonisation agenda 和 part of the wider international community’s “transition to a green economy”. ICS代表, ITF 和 the UN Global Compact serve as the Task Force Secretariat, 为工作组的会议提供便利. 可以访问GIPLG成员列表 在这里.
专责小组伙伴
Several project supporters 和 programme partners kindly offer financial support 和 in-house contributions to the work of the Global Peer Learning Group. 的 Task Force is also grateful to its knowledge partners, 和 to its primary funder, 劳氏船级社基金会.

Phase 1: Mapping a Maritime Just Transition for Seafarers
的 world’s nearly 2 million seafarers are key to powering this 行业 through a successful transition to net zero. 海员将需要足够的技能, 教育, 和培训, to operate new technology systems on board 和 to manage new 燃料s, 比如氨和氢, which unless properly h和led could represent a significant health 和 safety risk for seafarers, 船只, 环境与社区.
挪威船级社报告
未来的替代燃料技术, 比如可再生的电子燃料, bio燃料s 和 fossil 燃料s with carbon capture 和 storage, expected to introduce new training requirements for seafarers, 工作队秘书处(ICS), ITF 和 UN Global Compact) commissioned a major 报告 from classification Society ‘DNV’, to explore how best to support seafarers during the transition 和 to provide an overview of the challenges that training seafarers throughout the transition will entail.
的 报告, which provides “Insights into seafarer training 和 skills needed to support a decarbonized shipping 行业”, models three emission reduction scenarios to estimate the number of seafarers requiring additional training to h和le alternative 燃料s up to 2050. All three scenarios highlight an immediate need to start putting the seafarer training infrastructure in place.
的 报告 concluded that a lack of clarity about viability 和 uptake of alternative 燃料 options, as well as uncertainty surrounding regulatory developments 和 financing, is making it difficult to plan effectively for the transition of the maritime workforce 和 to attract investment towards new skills programmes, compatible with the 行业’s needs for a decarbonised future.
10-point-action计划
根据DNV报告的调查结果, the 海上公正过渡工作队 Secretariat (in consultation with other Task Force Members, IMO 和 ILO) developed a forward looking 10-point-action计划 for international organizations, 行业, 工人 和 academia (including training providers), setting out concrete recommendations to unlock the seafarer skills needed to support shipping’s decarbonisation goals. 的立场文件Mapping a Maritime Just Transition for Seafarers，可浏览 在这里.
