Navigating Zero - Global Trade’s Powerful Wave of Change

The maritime trade industry accounts for roughly 3% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. The world is in a climate crisis, and our industry needs to look towards decarbonisation and the transition to zero emissions. But how do we actually get there? 

To find out, host Lora Jakobsen of ZeroNorth sits down with thought leaders, and sustainability, trade, and logistics experts to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces as it navigates its way toward zero emissions.

Navigating Zero explores why it's so complex to break down barriers and change the mindset of global trade, and the maritime shipping industry during its sustainable transition.

We'll be asking our guests to be open about the challenges they face in the near, mid, and long term. We'll discuss the opportunities, actions, and potential solutions the shipping industry has at its disposal. Whether it's dissecting the role of AI in sustainable shipping or the transition to green energy and biofuels, Navigating Zero will get to the heart of the issues that global trade faces today as it charts a course to a better future.

If you are curious how maritime shipping and global trade fit into our world, or are a professional within the shipping industry who wants to drive change and make global trade sustainable, this is the podcast series for you.
