The New Energies Coalition participated in the "Blue Economy and Finance" event at the Ocean Pavilion. Three executives and leaders from members of the New Energy Coalition took part in an important roundtable this morning, discussing the role of finance and cooperation in shipping decarbonization 🚢💡: ➡️ Claire Waysand Group Executive Vice President of ENGIE ➡️ Gilles Vermot Desroches, Director of Sustainable Development at Schneider Electric ➡️ Christine Cabau Woehrel, Executive Vice President Assets & Operations at CMA CGM ➡️ moderated by Ashok Adicéam, Head of Global Affairs for the UN Ocean Conference 2025 In 2022, international shipping was responsible for about 2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions 📈, yet it enables 80% of global trade 🌏. The path to decarbonizing this sector requires massive investment 💰 and innovation 🔍. With over 100,000 ships and numerous terminals to modernize, the challenge is colossal but achievable through our collective efforts 🤝. The journey is capital-intensive, involving infrastructure replacement, retrofitting ships, and exploring carbon capture technologies 🌱. The coalition aims to create a more sustainable maritime transport ecosystem, emphasizing the need for financial, regulatory, and economic support to make a definitive shift towards environmentally respectful solutions 🌿.
