Climate change significantly affects the shipping sector and has direct and indirect impacts, which could potentially disrupt shipping activities, increase costs and require adjustments to infrastructure and planning. Shipping plays a critical role in global trade and transport, but it also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions to a significant extent. To tackle this challenge, the shipping industry is actively working to adopt sustainable and climate-resilient practices.
