Since January 1, 2024, the shipping industry has been formally incorporated into the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This paper integrates the development mechanisms and current status of various policies, and provides a systematic review in combination with the existing literature, with the aim of offering a reference for the future development of shipping carbon emissions system.
