The draft plan also calls for shipping emissions to be slashed by at least 20% but aiming for 30% by 2030 and at least 70% but working toward 80% by 2040 despite a push from Pacific nations for more ambitious targets. Experts calculate the industry must cut its emissions by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 to keep on track with 1.5 C temperature goal.

Very little is on track to limit warming to 1.5°C above what it was in the late 1800s. Attaining that would mean a WWII-like mobilization for decarbonization. Success is a lot more likely to look like 2°C.
