Abstract

Maritime shipping is a major source of GHG emissions worldwide. Climate change is anticipated to escalate the incidence and intensity of extreme weather events, significantly impacting shipping emissions. Although considerable attention has been given to the impact of natural disasters and climate change on maritime transport, research in this area often remains fragmented and disconnected from studies on shipping emissions. This hinders the development of comprehensive strategies that address both the immediate risks posed by extreme weather events and the long-term goal of reducing GHG emissions. To fill this gap, this paper critically reviews the literature in relevant fields. We conclude that the impact of climate-related disasters on shipping emissions remains underexplored in many areas and discuss potential research pathways for future studies. This paper offers comprehensive insights and actionable recommendations for the formulation of environmental policies and the promotion of sustainable development in the maritime industry.

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
