Global Maritime Issues Monitor 2019: Environmental and climate related issues jump to the top of decision-makers’ agenda
Senior leaders foresee environmental and climate related issues to have a major impact on the maritime industry in the coming decade.
This is a key finding of the Global Maritime Issues Monitor 2019, published yesterday by the Global Maritime Forum; Marsh JLT Specialty, a division of global insurance broker and risk adviser Marsh; and the International Union of Marine Insurance. Survey respondents from 46 different countries around the world highlight ‘decarbonization of shipping’, ‘new environmental regulation’, ‘societal demands for sustainability’, and ‘failure of climate-change mitigation and adoption’ as four of the top 10 issues in terms of potential impact on the maritime industry.
