Climate change challenge: Shipping’s fair share

22. november 2017, 9:00 - 17:30

Climate change challenge: Shipping’s fair share

At COP 21 in Paris, the parties agreed to limit global temperature increase to max. 2 °C above pre-industrial times and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 °C. The Paris Agreement will require a significant decrease in use of fossil fuels. Is this compatible with the expected significant increase in shipping? Is low carbon shipping possible and what are the costs and the connected consequences?

Date/venue:  22nd November 2017 / Clarion Hotel, arrival terminal in Copenhagen Airport.

Register:       Dr. Kare Press-Kristensen by mail: Kaare@ecocouncil.dk (Registration is binding).

Price:            Early birds: 490 euro / 3.650 kr (before Oct. 16th). Later registration 550 euro / 4.100 kr.
