ABSTRACT
How to build an international maritime GHG (greenhouse gas) emission reduction cooperation mechanism is an important international issue at present. Firstly, we describe the current situation of maritime transport GHG emission reduction and analyze the problems that still exist in international maritime transport emission reduction from four aspects: political, economic, legal and technical. For example, geopolitical aggravation hinders the solution of the FOC (Flag of Convenience) issue; maritime emissions are not included in the carbon emission trading system; the synergy of maritime emission reduction principles under the IMO (International Maritime Organization) framework and the technical level of maritime emission reduction needs to be improved. The motivation and essence of the divergent international actions on maritime emission reduction are discussed. Finally, it is proposed to implement the “true linkage principle” to solve the problem of FOCs; to promote the development of regional carbon markets and link them to the international maritime carbon emission trading market economically; to implement the CBDR (the common but differentiated responsibilities) principle legally to promote the international emission reduction work in an orderly manner; and the technical innovation of ships and increase the technical support.
