https://lnkd.in/gmDz3PbC Sadly. Agree with Jennifer. One of the most dangerous jobs in the world and one that places a huge burden on families ashore. The bigger Q’s for me though are from economic justice and innovative thinking perspectives. How do we find out who is accountable? When: - products in supply chains involve many corporations (still) making money - seafearers sign the paperwork to take up jobs in shipping - for the very resources we were meant to hit net zero by 2030 - international labor and maritime nfp’s and civil org’s don’t have meaningful influence against war lords, tyrants, vasal state leaders and the supposed good and bad guys - international diplomacy is in dire straits and a 6th grade debate team could come to a better consensus - the first casualty is the truth in theatre of war - no leader in business or politics or royalty bold enough to make the one decision that changes where they’ll buy the product that can only be transported by ship. (Just a few thoughts of mine and ones that lead to Q’s many mainstream journalists JUST DON’T SEEM TO ASK of; economists, insurers, lawyers, company CEOS, labor union’s, seafaring nfps & civil orgs, UN IMO, UNFCCC, World Bank leaders etc). "Seafarers often pay the price in conflict, especially when conflict spills out into the maritime domain," former Australian naval officer Jennifer Parker said. #economics #COP31 #resources #fossilfuels #lng #crudeoil #money #rich #justice #seafearer #maritime #IMO #UNFCCC #NetZero #Solar #Wind #Battery #Innovation #SustainableUse #EconomicPayoff #HumanRights #InternationalLabor #Risks #Modelling #EnergyMarkets #InternationalShipping #Diplomacy #DeeperThinking #CriticalThinking #Inquiry #BetterSystemDesign #Resilience #Value #MarineTrade #Trade #Justice
