This report evaluates public health and climate impacts of low-sulphur fuels in global shipping. Using high-resolution emissions inventories, integrated atmospheric models, and health risk functions, the study assesses ship-related PM2.5 pollution impacts in 2020 with and without the use of low-sulphur fuels.
