担忧成本上升，威胁进行报复，美国施压致全球航运业减排计划搁浅

Core Viewpoint - The proposed framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the global shipping industry has been postponed for 12 months due to pressure from the United States, significantly impacting efforts to address pollution in the sector [1][2]. Group 1: Emission Reduction Framework - The International Maritime Organization (IMO) had developed a draft framework aiming for net-zero emissions in the shipping industry by 2050, which included measures such as reducing reliance on carbon-emitting fuels and financial incentives for ships using low or zero-emission fuels [2]. - The decision to postpone the vote on this framework was passed with 57 votes in favor and 49 against, indicating deepening divisions among member states, particularly between oil-producing and non-oil-producing countries [2][3]. - If the carbon pricing mechanism had been approved, it would have imposed checks on foreign vessels and could have led to penalties for non-compliance, affecting even the United States [2]. Group 2: Impact of U.S. Opposition - The U.S. government has actively opposed the global shipping emissions pricing mechanism, fearing it could act as a "carbon tax" and increase shipping costs by over 10% [3]. - Reports indicate that the U.S. has exerted significant pressure on other countries to withdraw support for the emissions framework, with threats of sanctions against nations backing the proposal [3]. - The actions of the U.S. have been described as aggressive, with comparisons made to organized crime, highlighting the unprecedented nature of such behavior in IMO meetings [3]. Group 3: Future Emission Projections - Currently, the shipping industry accounts for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but this could rise to 10% by 2050 if no action is taken [4]. - Experts warn that the failure to reach an agreement on emissions reduction could lead to a significant increase in emissions, with predictions suggesting a potential rise of 10% to 150% by 2050 [4][5]. - The lack of a recognized carbon reduction mechanism is seen as a major barrier to achieving emission reductions in the shipping sector, which relies heavily on diesel fuel that remains the cheapest option available [5].
