Nina Porst, Director of Climate, Environment, and Security at Danish Shipping, emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum from last summer’s climate agreement. According to Porst, while significant breakthroughs may not be expected at this meeting, she stressed the need for intensified negotiations among key players to pave the way for effective outcomes.
The 82nd meeting of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) is crucial as it brings together representatives from the IMO’s 176 member countries to discuss regulations aimed at achieving climate-neutral shipping by 2050.
Danish Shipping supports the ambition for climate-neutral shipping and outlines critical proposals for consideration, including establishing a pricing mechanism to bridge the cost gap between fuel types, implementing a technical framework to reduce greenhouse gas intensity, and adopting a “well-to-wake” approach that considers the full life cycle of fuels.
