Trump motsätter sig koldioxidskatt på sjöfart trots motstånd

Trump-administrationen har hotat länder som stödjer en föreslagen koldioxidskatt på global sjöfart med visumrestriktioner, tullar och hamnavgifter. Trots dessa påtryckningar gav en knapp majoritet av länderna stöd åt det ursprungliga ramverket för nettonollutsläpp vid ett nyligen avhållet FN-möte.

Nittio procent av den globala handeln sker via fartyg, och sektorn står för cirka 3 procent av världens totala koldioxidutsläpp. Internationella sjöfartsorganisationen (IMO) var inställd på att anta en plan för att nå nettonollutsläpp förra året, men amerikanska hot fördröjde framstegen i månader och stärkte svagare alternativ.
