Global Shipping Emissions Agreement Takes Shape

The Marine Environment Protection Committee of the IMO has concluded its 84th session with a commitment to rebuild consensus on global shipping emissions. The Committee agreed to establish an intersessional Working Group to resolve various concerns and drive broader convergence on a global measure ahead of MEPC 85. This move follows a week of discussions on the adoption of mid-term measures to address GHG emissions from ships, with multiple proposals tabled. The IMO Net-Zero Framework remains intact despite pressure and delay tactics. This development was reported by an unknown source.
