IMO Pushes for Shipper Compliance, Amid Debate Over Realistic Goals


🚢 IMO Pushes for Shipper Compliance, Amid Debate Over Realistic Goals.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is currently convening in London to discuss the progress of pollution-reducing policies in ocean shipping and set new emission targets. While some countries, led by the United States, advocate for stricter regulations to combat climate change, others remain skeptical about the feasibility of these ambitious goals. The United States and its allies are pushing for more drastic emission reductions than previously set, emphasizing the need for urgent action in light of accelerating climate change. U.S. President Biden calls for a 37% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, a 96% reduction by 2040, and a complete elimination of emissions by 2050. However, countries like India propose more modest targets, such as requiring 5% of marine fuels used to be carbon-neutral by 2030.
