目標
Meh Ship means Amazon has charted a cleaner course but needs to go further.
アマゾンの商品は、世界で最も汚染度の高い化石燃料を使用した汚染船で海外に輸送されており、アマゾンは気候や大気を汚染する主要な存在となっています。
Amazon's Climbing Climate Emissions
アマゾンのEコマースからの排出量が日に日に増加するにつれ、気候変動の緊急事態はさらに深刻になっています。アマゾンの化石燃料による海上輸送への依存は、気候変動の緊急事態を加速させているだけでなく、港湾や沿岸地域、有色人種の低所得者層のコミュニティの空気を不当に汚染しています。
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.
