<p>Alongside our upcoming Transport Decarbonisation Plan, we will shortly bring forward
a consultation on aviation and climate change. It is critical that we consider how
aviation can play its part in delivering our net zero ambitions, so that the aviation
sector can continue to thrive.</p><p>International shipping is unique in being the
only global sector with a volumetric emissions reduction target, as set out in the
International Maritime Organization’s Initial GHG Strategy. The UK was a leading voice
in the negotiation of this Strategy, and our primary focus regarding international
shipping emissions is now to agree through the IMO the short-, medium- and long-term
measures required to reach the targets. Government will invite further views on its
domestic actions to reduce shipping emissions through the publication later this year
of a Call for Evidence on non-tax incentives to support the transition to zero emission
shipping.</p>
