▍原文
Nine big companies including Amazon, Ikea and Unilever have signed up to a pledge to only move cargo on ships using zero-carbon fuel by 2040.
They hope the "aggressive" target will push the heavily-polluting shipping industry to decarbonize faster.
Cargo shipping produces one billion tonnes of climate pollution each year - as much as the country of Germany.
