In this episode of the World Bank Group's Trade Tips podcast, we explore the relationship between trade and climate change, and how shipping can tackle its huge carbon emissions.
We hear from Maersk – the world’s largest container shipping firm – about how a new and greener future is needed for the industry, and from the World Bank's Vicky Chemutai, on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Featured Voices
- Morten Bo Christiansen, Head of Decarbonization, Maersk: “There is technology available to operate on green fuels, but there are no green fuels available at the moment. So you have this situation that there are no green fuels because no one is building green ships, and there are no one builds the green ships because there are no green fuels."
- Vicky Chemutai, Economist, Young Professionals Program, World Bank Group: “All of the solutions that we are talking about need to be implemented at scale. But the solutions exist.”
