Out of the Bunker: Time for a fair deal on shipping emissions
... By COP17 in Durban, governments must agree a trajectory of scaledup climate finance from 2013 to 2020. Pricing emissions from ships, either through a fuel levy or by auctioning emissions allowances, could generate billions of dollars. At $25 per tonne of CO 2 , this could raise around $25bn per year ...
