Our comprehensive modelling system can serve as a benchmark tool to support the construction of a systematic solution and joint effort from the shipping industry and global trade network to address climate change. However, a huge shipping emissions-reduction potential could be expected by optimizing international trade patterns, with a maximum reaching 38% of the current total. We argue that potential unfairness exists if allocating shipping emissions responsibility to bilateral traders due to external beneficiaries. International maritime trade in 2018 contributes 746.2 Tg to shipping emissions of CO 2, of which 17.2% is contributed from ten out of thousands of trade flows at the country level. Here we build a compound model chain to deconstruct global international shipping emissions to fine-scale trade flows and propose trade-linked indicators to measure shipping emissions efficiency.

The ambitious targets for shipping emissions reduction and challenges for mechanism design call for new approaches to encourage decarbonization.
