The maritime sector accounts for 3.6 million tonnes of CO2e per year in British Columbia, 8.8 million tonnes of CO2e in Canada and over 1 billion tonnes of CO2e worldwide, representing close to 5.5% of BC’s annual emissions, 1.2% of Canada’s annual emissions, and 3% of total annual global anthropogenic emissions. Under a business-as-usual scenario and if other sectors of the economy reduce emissions to keep the global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius, shipping could represent some 10% of global GHG emissions by 2050. Global technology trends—such as decentralization, digitization, electrification, and implementation of sustainable practices—are accelerating opportunities for emission reductions and economic growth while deepening the integration between these strategic focus areas.
