Tell Japan: don't sink our climate, clean up these dirty ships

To Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Taro Kono, and Minister of Transport, Mr. Keiichi Ishii :

Maritime shipping impacts the health of our seas, our air and our climate. As citizens from every country in the world, we call on you to bring the world’s ships in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Technology exists today to transition to a 100% clean shipping fleet by 2050. It is only your level of ambition that will either hold this advancement back or spur it forward. The world and everything we love is counting on your leadership this week.

Tell Japan: don't sink our climate, clean up these dirty ships
If ships were a country, they'd be the 7th largest climate polluter in the world! But this week, we can turn the tide -- and create a clean seas revolution.

Ministers from around the world are about to take a critical vote that would clean up climate-killing ships with green technology. But Japan is standing in the way. They don't want to take real action until 2060 -- our planet can't wait that long!


Japan desperately wants to avoid media attention on this. We can't let it happen. If enough of us raise the alarm, we can meet the delegation with ads in London's biggest papers and a massive petition, creating a major media story -- and forcing Japan to face the music. We've got no time to lose, the meeting is days away!
