Aviation and shipping are responsible for around 5% of global emissions. Efforts are underway to reduce and price pollution generated by the two sectors but a lot of work still needs to be done. If mechanisms are designed well, planes and ships could not just cut their emissions but also make a substantial contribution to climate finance. Aoife O'Leary, founder of Opportunity Green, joins Sam Morgan on The Jolt to share her view on what the two sectors are up to, while Constance Dijkstra, an International Maritime Organisation expert with Transport & Environment, explains what kind of role the UN body is set to play next year.
