Conclusion
The period to 2028 and the expected adoption of a further GHG Strategy will be a crucial one for international shipping emissions, as agreement is reached on regulatory measures to implement the 2023 Strategy and as IMO States seek consensus on further decarbonisation plans. The outcome of discussions at the 81st meeting of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee in March 2024 appears to have been positive, but work is clearly required to consolidate and raise IMO ambitions on global emissions regulation. Continuity in the UK Government’s approach and the maintenance and strengthening of the coalition of ambition at the IMO is essential.
