This report introduces the concept of Sustainable First Mover Initiatives (SFMIs)33333. These are $1.5^{\circ}C$ Paris Agreement-aligned efforts designed to transition the shipping sector away from fossil fuels toward electrofuels (such as e-hydrogen, e-ammonia, and e-methanol)44444. The resource focuses on the role of ports as critical hubs for this transition, especially in the Global South, ensuring that decarbonization provides social, economic, and environmental co-benefits to local communities555555555.
