Putting workers at the heart of a Just Transition
Nautilus International general secretary MARK DICKINSON calls for the rights of workers to be protected as we move to zero-emissions shipping

ACTION on climate change is non-negotiable; the devastating impact of climate breakdown is already evident from bush fires in Australia to the deathly floods in Pakistan. We must all play our part to address this major challenge of our time.

As the backbone of the global economy, shipping is one of the most carbon-intensive industries. The British government has set a target for zero-emissions shipping to be achieved by 2050, an ambition Nautilus International wholeheartedly supports.

Nautilus believes in a just and human-centred transition, one that guarantees our people, the skilled and dedicated maritime professionals that form the beating heart of global supply chains, are full and active participants in change.
