TOWARDS A CLEANER SHIPPING INDUSTRY

ADRIAN ISTRATE SCRADEANU

Abstract


This paper analyzes the urgent problem of climate change, attributing its causes to anthropogenic activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels and extensive deforestation, which significantly contribute to rise in the concentration of gases in the atmosphere. Within it, the international consensus is emphasized on the need to implement measures to combat these changes, including the gradual elimination of the use of fossil fuels and the intensification of the capacity of ecosystems to absorb greenhouse gases.
This document highlights the essential role of various international agreements and regulations in addressing environmental issues. These initiatives reflect the global commitment to adopt a comprehensive and coordinated approach to climate challenges, underscoring the importance of international collaboration in achieving a sustainable future.
