UK funds efforts to curb greenhouse gases from shipping industry

The United Nation’s International Maritime Organization has ambitious targets to make global shipping net-zero by around 2050. To that end, the United Kingdom has been providing millions of dollars in funding to help start-ups find potential solutions. CNA's Stuart Smith reports from London.
