MRV schemes are designed to be the paving stone to carbon pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee in the House of Representatives was very receptive to the bill. Whether it gets enacted will likely rely on what happens on November 3 when Americans cast their vote in the presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenger for the presidency in next month\u2019s election, Joe Biden, is determined to put the US back on the international green map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the so-called Biden Plan, the environmental agenda laid out by the Democrat nominee, there is a call to lead the world \u201cto lock in enforceable international agreements to reduce emissions in global shipping and aviation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the US MRV news, Dan Hubbell of Ocean Conservancy\u2019s shipping emissions campaign, told<em> Splash<\/em>: \u201cAs a major source of greenhouse gas emissions\u2014on par with a G7 country\u2014shipping often falls in the blind spot of ocean-based climate change solutions. We\u2019re encouraged to see the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act introduce a monitoring, reporting and verification system that lays the foundation for real climate action on shipping by the United States, which could be pivotal to the development of green ports and zero carbon shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madeline Rose, climate campaign director at Pacific Environment, said: \u201cIn the face of the climate emergency, nations are taking shippings\u2019 emissions into their own hands. Introduction this week of an EU-style monitoring, reporting and verification system to accurately count ships\u2019 emissions in the United States is the first step towards a comprehensive emissions reduction regime for ships in US ports and waters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emissions discussions in Washington are taking place at the same time as member states of the International Maritime Organisation meet this week to discuss short-term measures to slash the sector\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadlock at the IMO meeting risks seeing up to 30 nations walk away from the discussions today, making the regionalisation of shipping environmental regulation ever more likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States is looking at copying the European Union\u2019s path to carbon pricing on shipping.
