- Consider designing a carbon pricing mechanism for maritime shipping as a "feebate" system.

- Make sure that these pricing schemes and standards cover well-to-wake emissions.
Dealing with the War’s Impacts on Ukraine’s Ports: How to Get More Grain to the World
Policy Brief, Policy Insights,
10 July 2022
- Ukraine is the world’s third-largest grain exporter but the war has rendered most Ukrainian ports unusable. Grain exports have plummeted.
- Many countries in Africa and Asia depend on Ukrainian grain. The drop in exports has driven up food prices and raised fears of shortages and hunger.
- Ukraine can shift some grain exports to European ports with spare capacity. However, rail transport is complicated because of different rail gauges.
- Exporting Ukrainian grain via foreign ports adds transport costs of USD 150 or more per tonne. This is triple the average intercontinental shipping cost.
- An international agreement creating safe maritime corridors in the Black Sea would best safeguard grain exports from Ukraine.
