Cleaner engine fuels = less air pollution 🚢

Polar fuels in the #Arctic could cut ships' climate impacts significantly overnight.

But we've waiting decades for mandatory international regulations

Shipping in the #Arctic is like nowhere else on Earth 🚢

The harsh climate make for challenging navigation and the Arctic's unique geography makes it more vulnerable to #shipping-related impacts 🚫

By reducing ship speeds by just 10%, we can:
⚡ Decrease energy use
🌡️ Cut GHG emissions
🔉 Reduce underwater noise pollution

"Slow steaming" has multiple benefits. @WWFCanada's Kristen Powell explains in #TheCircleWWF 🔗:

🌡️ #Glaciers are melting at an alarming pace, releasing methane.

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contributes substantially to global temperature rise, compounding the problem.
