International transport, both aviation and maritime shipping, is a critical element of the global economy and trade. At the same time, it is also one of the main drivers of human-induced climate change. This paper looks at the importance of international transport for trade and climate change, the governance of shipping and aviation in the context of climate change, regulatory instruments for emissions mitigation, the costs of such instruments, and ways to offset them for vulnerable countries.
