# Kenya has joined the over 60 countries that support a carbon levy on the shipping industry, which will fund climate adaptation and mitigation for vulnerable nations. Governments are nearing an agreement on a carbon levy on shipping emissions, with a decision slated for next month. Shipping accounts for three-percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Kenya’s Special Envoy for Climate Change, Ali Mohamed, says investments in zero-emission vessels, renewable fuels, and resilient port infrastructure can ensure developing nations thrive in a low-carbon economy.
