Meh Ship means Amazon has charted a cleaner course but needs to go further.
Los productos de Amazon se envían al extranjero en barcos contaminantes que utilizan algunos de los combustibles fósiles más sucios del mundo, lo que convierte a Amazon en un contaminante climático y atmosférico de primer orden.
Amazon's Climbing Climate Emissions
A medida que las emisiones del comercio electrónico de Amazon aumentan cada día, la emergencia climática se agrava. La dependencia de Amazon del transporte marítimo con combustibles fósiles no solo acelera nuestra emergencia climática, sino que también contamina de forma desproporcionada el aire de los puertos y las comunidades costeras y de las comunidades de color con bajos ingresos.
In 2021, Amazon’s use of dirty ships emitted over 223K metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere—and that’s just for its imports into the U.S.
Taking Amazon's Climate Pledge to the Seas
Amazon has committed to Ship it Zero by 2040 as a founding member of Cargo Owners for Zero Emissions Vessels, and it has committed to ship 10% of its freight on zero-emission vessels by 2030. While this commitment is historic, it’s a decade too late AND the retailer still hasn’t given a firm commitment to decarbonize its ocean shipping.
In order to keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius — the benchmark suggested by the scientific community to avoid the worst elements of global warming — we need Amazon to make a bolder, earlier zero-emission transition this decade, no later than 2030.
Amazon's Zero-Emission Opportunity
Amazon is a retailer defined by firsts. It should be the first retail leader to get its ships off fossil fuels and commit to zero-emission ocean shipping. We urge Amazon to stop moving products on fossil-fueled ships by 2030 — 10 years earlier than their present commitment.
