The World Economic Forum, the Global Maritime Forum and Friends of Ocean Action launched the “Getting to Zero Coalition” at last week’s UN Climate Action Summit, with the goal of decarbonising the international maritime shipping sector by 2030. The coalition represents leaders from across the maritime, energy, infrastructure and finance sectors and is supported by decision-makers from government and international organisations.

In recognition of the global climate crisis, the private sector in Denmark has created a so-called Corporate Climate Alliance. The idea is that the alliance will collaborate with the Danish parliament and Danish society as a whole to help solve the climate crisis.
