What can we learn from maritime shipping's journey to net zero?

According to the International Maritime Organisation or IMO, there are more than 50,000 commercial ships registered in the world today, which combined carry over 90% of the goods produced on Earth. They also produce around 3% of the world's CO2 emissions.

This week's guest is Lora Jakobsen, Chief Purpose Activist at Zero North, a climate tech company which offers a software platform to help optimise shipping efficiency.
