The increase in global temperature is more and more important, harming our environment and our life, The adverse effects of conventional energy sources on the ecosystem have underscored the urgent necessity for alternative and renewable energy solutions to address the imminent challenges of climate change. This urgency has prompted various industries to embark on explorations of innovative approaches to limit their carbon emissions.

In an era of rapid transformations, where the shift toward environmentally friendly practices is gaining momentum, it is imperative to ensure that this transition is inclusive and equitable, leaving no one behind. My story revolves around the often-overlooked impact of the green transition on seafarers, the silent heroes of the energy transition. As we embrace new technologies, alternative fuels, and look for new energies, it becomes paramount to consider and prioritize the welfare, safety, and rights of these key players who navigate the seas and contribute significantly to global trade and sustainable practices.

Green transition is a necessity but most importantly, it should be a just one. Seafarers are key players when it comes to energy transition, and their rights must be protected.

Through this story, I aim to shed light on the profound impact of the green transition on the lives of seafarers and their crucial role in shaping a sustainable future. Inspired by my own experience as a seafarer attending a "green transition" conference, where the speakers overlooked the concerns of seafarers, focusing only on technical issues, the only concern was to identify suitable fuels, commercially viable technologies, or well-established alternatives. This experience illuminated the fact that the concerns of seafarers were overlooked, relegating their perspectives to the periphery. I was then driven to raise awareness about the importance of a truly just transition that includes the voices of all stakeholders and consider all need. This story seeks to inspire, encourage, and engage the audience in understanding the challenges faced by seafarers and the significance of safeguarding their rights in the journey towards a greener world.

The key takeaway from this experience is that the green transition should be approached with an inclusive mindset, ensuring that no individual or community is left behind in this transformative journey. We all have a role to play and a word to say. My advice to the audience is to be conscious of the far-reaching consequences of the decisions we make during this transition and to advocate for the protection of the rights and well-being of all those involved.
