Buoying up ambitions for decarbonisation: The future of the shipping sector
In this white paper, we examine some of the uncertainties and barriers to decarbonising shipping, and show how Ricardo can help steer the sector into calmer waters. Download the shipping decarbonisation whitepaper.

Net zero support
As we look to COP and limiting the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees and decarbonising the planet, many organisations are setting their own targets to reach net zero carbon emissions.
While COP focuses on the climate commitments of governments around the world, it will be critical for the private sector to take action too. To help with this, we've developed the following resources with advice and information on how businesses in the private sector can decarbonise:

• Blog post: The race to net zero – accelerating the UK’s net-zero target with a new interim plan for 2035
• ​Webinar series: Achieving net zero and Strategy, planning and implementation
• Whitepaper: Quitting the carbon habit

For a more extensive list, visit our net zero resources page.

Zero balancing
An extract from the latest Ricardo quarterly magazine, RQ. In this article, Mike Bell, Ricardo’s Group Strategy and Transformation Director, introduces COP26 and explains how its priorities resonate with Ricardo’s vision. We also explore UK and overseas climate change initiatives in which Ricardo has been involved and look at new energy management technologies helping towards net zero emissions. Read the article.
