Why Rivals Are Working Together to Transform Shipping | Bo Cerup-Simonsen | TED

What would it take to make global supply chains cleaner and greener? Bo Cerup-Simonsen — who’s helping decarbonize the maritime industry as CEO of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping — discusses why tenacious collaboration is key to orchestrating systemic change. In conversation with TED’s Lindsay Levin, he shares important lessons on collective problem-solving and decision-making that could benefit any industry making a green transition. Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world.
