Immediately reducing emissions of super pollutants – short-lived climate forcers – is the best option to avoid runaway Arctic warming and remain below 1.5°C. Methane, ozone and black carbon are responsible for a significant proportion of global warming to date, yet black carbon emissions from shipping remain unregulated, and liquified natural gas (methane) is marketed as “green fuel”. This event will bust myths while highlighting the need for urgent action by Arctic shipping to protect the cryosphere. Nancy Carmina García Fregoso of Equal Routes moderated this event. Speakers included Dr. James Kirkham, AMI Chief Science Advisor; Dr. Rolf Rødven, Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), Dr. Sian Prior, Clean Arctic Alliance (CAA); Dr. Sam Davin, WWF Canada; and Roel Hoenders, International Maritime Organization (IMO).
