Os desafios da autoridade marítima brasileira para mitigar as emissões de gases do efeito estufa: Os caminhos a serem percorridos até 2050

Abstract

ABSTRACT The challenges of the Brazilian Maritime Authority to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions: The paths to be followed until 2050 Following the Paris Agreement, several Member States committed to adopting measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, with the aim of keeping the global average temperature below 2º C, above pre-industrial levels. The International Maritime Organization has issued a Global Strategy to reduce emissions of these gases from vessels by 2050, to help the United Nations achieve this goal. Based on this agreement, Brazil issued the Nationally Determined Contribution to fulfill the commitment assumed, with the purpose of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 37% by 2025 and 43% by 2030. In accordance with this commitment, this work aims to identify the possible causes of climate change within the scope of Maritime Power, analyzing the problems caused by vessels that contribute to the emission of these gases, especially carbon dioxide; and, consequently, to climate change. Finally, it sought to describe the possible solutions that the Brazilian Maritime Authority could establish, through the Maritime Authority’s Standards, to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, carried out by vessels sailing in Brazilian jurisdictional waters.
