“IMO Member States are actively engaged in the process of revising the Initial IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships and in developing a basket of candidate mid-term measures,” the IMO stated.
This includes technical and carbon-pricing elements which will set global shipping on a path to phasing out GHG emissions.
“Incentivizing the availability and use of low- and zero-carbon marine fuels and ensuring the ability of all States to take part in this transition is paramount,” the IMO said.
