The paper analyzes the ongoing climate change process and international initiatives to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by economic activity sectors, with an emphasis on maritime transport activities in Brazil, A bibliographical research was conducted on greenhouse gas emissions through scientific articles, government websites and websites of various entities and organizations. A survey was conducted on the initiatives of companies in the sector and on the perception of shipping professionals about the state and prospects for progress in the implementation of measures to mitigate emissions on vessels. The results showed that the regional approach complements global regulations and reinforces the need for a coordinated response to address the environmental challenges posed by international shipping and that the integration of these international regulations is essential to promote sustainable practices and ensure global compliance.
