<h1>Global Shipping Carbon Tax Set at $100/Tonne for Vessels Failing Emission Standards by 2028</h1> Major maritime nations agreed to impose a $100 per tonne carbon dioxide tax on ships not meeting emission standards, creating the first global greenhouse gas tax. The International Maritime Organisation approved the measure, set to take effect by 2028, targeting shipping emissions which constitute about 3% of global total. While some environmentalists view it as a historic but insufficient step, others see it as a crucial move towards reducing climate impacts in global trade.
