IMO moves ahead on GHG emissions, Black Carbon and marine litter
Marine Environment Committee agrees to initiate GHG strategy review, recognizing need for strengthened ambitions
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) in view of the urgency for all sectors to accelerate their efforts to reduce GHG emissions – as emphasized in the recent IPCC reports and the Glasgow Climate Pact – recognized the need to strengthen the ambition of the Initial IMO GHG Strategy during its revision process.
