most of the was transported via big ships with the, with 70 percent of them as contain arrived cargo. but the international shipping industrial produces as much carbon dioxide a chill as a big industrial country like germany. our reporter done deeper into why shipping to means are go to mode, to transport goods between countries. take a look at your standard t shirt. where does it come from? the label says made in turkey or mexico or bangladesh, but that's only part of its epic journey. the cotton probably comes from lubbock, texas. it's then woven, treated bleached, and died across the ocean in china, cut in stone into a t shirt and bangladesh sent back to the u. s. a couple of clicks later. it's traveling across another ocean, say to berlin, where it sold for for euros. 99. it sounds like madness,
10:39 am
but it's actually shipping. shipping is so cheap that some aspects seem absurd. for example, it rains 247 in belgium, yet we buy on water and the is bottled in south pacific fish gets caught in the north sea. it then goes phrases to asia, where it split it and sent back, but there is a hidden cost to these curiosities. the full price of shipping is being paid by the environment in relative terms, shipping is very efficient, transporting one ton of cargo em. it's 16 grams of c o 2 per kilometer. it's over 10 times that by road and by air, it's a lot more. but in absolute terms, it's an absolute nightmare. this is she a distance? is that mean that is a mission stack up and become a problem. lucy, gillian works for sees at risk and association of

n g o's working to protect the oceans. $0.80. it ships abounding heavy fuel. no riches. i really think viscous. pulling feel, it's kind of, it's one step away from tom and, you know, the industry emits as much as all the coal plants in the us and just a bit less than aviation. but somehow shipping escape scrutiny. shipping is the only sector it doesn't pay for carbon pollution. fight of bass off leads the shipping program at transport, an environment and enjo campaigning for cleaner transport. it's the only sector that doesn't pay taxes on the fossil fuels uses. it doesn't pay v recently. global leaders, they agreed to impose 15 percent global minimum corporate taxation rate that was on one second. that was exempt as shipping. but how can that be given the scale ships
10:41 am
handle some 90 percent of global trade? then there's a strange little enigma. imagine something going wrong on a japanese built american owned tanker. sailed by a philippine crew, managed by a cypriot sailing from china to canada and international waters. who do you blame? well, maybe panama panama, marshall islands, liberia, bahamas, malta is 5 countries, which you don't really hear on our, on a daily basis, right? they're not really big powers in global politics or even economics. they are the king makers when it comes to shipping. that's because of a system called flag of convenience. the practice began during the prohibition error selling alcohol in the usa was illegal. so passenger ship owners began registering their ships in panama, so they could serve drinks on board. the international maritime organization is the
10:42 am
only body that can set policy for the entire sector. it's a un agency task with, among other things, fighting climate change, but as done the opposite. there are multiple reasons. first of all, at the imo members, states are normally represented by the ministries of transport. they want to promote shipping aviation and so on and so forth. climate, the environmental challenges that has not been traditionally speaking their domain, that the domain of the climate ministry or environment minister. so this is a kind of structural problem and policies are rarely put to vote. the i am o prefers to rule by consensus, which gives louder voices, a de facto veto power, and number 3, industry has power for low being associations, electricity, national delegations, and in many cases, put pressure on the government's 30 percent of its representatives are not policy makers but business people, the highest number in any un agency,

ah managed build as a big ships to exploit economist trait, the evan neighborhood industries to create one year a bikini and t shirts that it just said cheat. the people, think of them is disposable. and that's been facilitated by cheap shipping. that doesn't pay for it, please. ah, when it comes to emissions is absolutely no excuse how slow the shipping industry is going to address that. it's just, it's absolutely shameful. mm. but momentum for change is building, it's recognized that we can't so climate change with that will say solving the emissions problem from shipping. the european union is taking a leading role to force companies to reduce emissions. and innovation can be a huge help or believe technology such as batteries for short, distance vessels,
10:44 am
green hydrogen, or getting hydrogen bays, fuels can fill that gap and fully to come in either sector. but it takes good timing and effort to turn a tanker around and the i m o has displayed. neither shipping has been showing that it can move swiftly when it comes to reforming itself with thing. that is possible . it is doable, but it's not going to happen. on his own, then it's the regulations that mandate switch to those sustainable behavior. sustainable technologies and the shipping companies need to renew ships, would be far more expensive. but a german conservation group has worked out that those $499.00 t shirts would then cost just $0.02 more. sometimes small changes can leads to big results. in kenya, for instance, fishermen were offered the chance to swap the engines on their boats from diesel
10:45 am
electric baldwood. let's take a look at how much of a difference it's made for they work. and they said on dings. ah asked dusk fools, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria since he started using an electric motor. he and his team no longer have to breathe him, exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. or tina was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to move careful. robert propeller dublin. so run it through tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila, you this 1st tree all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews while you just do. just automatic thought, come up with some of the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they
10:46 am
plan to cast their large net with the light, slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, i pull up the neck. the nights are long on the lake, only after 12 hours do the fisherman returned to me again. a beach in the town of m, b t r a t n a share the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or softball lab worker. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a silver rains out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here. the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors
10:47 am
from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on corner. but sometimes when they technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go for them back or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company i saw as working to improve their offer to get more customers. it's made contact with companies in kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at
10:48 am
a cheaper rate in the 2nd life, but to his will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer to will far we give them more bodies, then we chide these rich, i'd feed, but see like, you don't go far. we give you full batteries, you hon. short distance, we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. i saw both the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water, and one of the few in general on the countries markets. around 25000, both are out on lake victoria every day, and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silva sigh printed from the lake. and they catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning,
10:49 am
1st drying it, and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also the money to pay the school fees for their full children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family. i'm praying, god willing that my children know to be fishing was so the sooner the better another's has been bizarre. i now i'm so i put in a 2 cushion provider who did wishful from bare b if they're employed to become turned my, our life. jared, atlanta has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors problem, but he and a sofa, a still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish to be more by
