AbstractThe maritime sector is a significant contributor to European economies, however, with shipping currently accounting for 2.3% of global CO2 emissions there is a clear opportunity to reduce emissions and ensure sustainable growth of the sector. In 2019, the UK passed legislation to enshrine a net zero emissions target to be achieved by 2050 for the whole economy, and since then, the European Union’s (EU) Green Deal has been announced which supports EU countries to reduce emissions across different sectors. While emissions from recreational boats are relatively small compared to those from other sectors, it is critical that the sector is supported if the UK and EU are to each become climate neutral by 2050.
