Over 150 shipping related companies have already signed up. It is vitally important that all Governments realize that without concerted government action to develop zero emission fuels and create a worldwide bunkering system to support this, it will be impossible for shipping to reach its GHG goals. The “Call to Action” is designed to alert Governments at COP26 that shipping accepts that GHG's need to be reduced but without their actions it will not happen on its own.

Please keep in mind that the "Call to Action" and other documents are embargoed until the formal launch at the end of September when the list will be submitted to COP26, which means you should not communicate externally about the declaration or your decision to sign up to it.
