Navigating Zero - Global Trade’s Powerful Wave of Change is a podcast from ZeroNorth that explores the significant challenges facing the maritime industry on its journey towards a sustainable future. There’s no denying we are facing a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today’s society but is also responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions. A future where global trade reaches zero carbon emissions is possible, but how do we actually get there? In each episode, Lora Jakobsen, Chief Purpose Activist at ZeroNorth, will sit down with global thought leaders and ask the difficult questions: How do we accelerate decarbonisation in maritime trade? What stands in the way of shipping companies reaching zero emissions? What are the innovative solutions to the challenges we face in distribution? And how can data and technology help? Navigating Zero gives us all a peek into how maritime shipping and global trade fit into our world. It gives voice to different perspectives on the solutions to reduce carbon emissions, from the way cargo is packed in shipping containers, to innovations on the ship, and beyond. If you are a professional within the shipping industry who wants to drive change and make global trade sustainable, this is the podcast series for you.
