Poseidon
Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea, storms and earthquakes - and he is about to shake up the maritime industry. Suffice to say that the shipping sector has been rather slow and defensive in its response to our climate emergency, mostly because it accounts for 3% of global carbon emissions and has not yet developed viable alternatives to fossil fuels. However, in the past week 11 major shipping banks have signed the Poseidon Principles, committing to assess the carbon intensity of their shipping investments and to incorporate climate goals into shipping vessels that they fund. The weather’s a-changin’.
