The CII is key to creating more energy efficient ships and cutting emissions in the short-term.

Currently, the CII is not realising its full potential!

The revision of the CII, due to start at MEPC82 and conclude by 2025, is a key opportunity to bring it up to date with the revised GHG Strategy and to make sure that it works in the future in a coherent way with the basket of mid-term measures (BoM) being negotiated at the same time.

Despite global commitments to keep global heating below 1.5C, we have already reached 1.2C. Setting emissions targets to be reached in the near-term will be key to avoiding climate tipping points.

Only through improved efficiency – and wind power – will the IMO be able to hit its GHG reduction goals. And CII is the tool that can drive these improvements in the most cost-effective way.

Inside Climate News: Pacific and Caribbean Island Nations Call for the First Universal Carbon Levy on International Shipping Emissions

The International Maritime Organization has been asked to enact a carbon levy of $150 per ton of emissions from large freight and passenger ships. The IMO’s 175 member nations have until next year to vote.

Shipping Climate Goals at Risk as IMO Fails to Take Improved Energy Efficiency Seriously

As this week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (IMO, MEPC 82) closed this afternoon, the Clean Shipping Coalition urged the national delegations of countries that support ambitious climate action to properly resource and pick up the pace of negotiations to ensure that shipping’s climate pollution peaks and reduces in line with the IMO’s 2023 GHG strategy, thus curbing the sector’s contribution to the worst impacts of climate breakdown.

Growing Support for Shipping’s Greenhouse Gas Levy and Fuel Standard Must Be Matched By Action On Energy Efficiency During Next Week’s IMO Meeting

Ahead of next week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting, the Clean Shipping Coalition urged national delegations that support ambitious climate action to also insist that the IMO revise its ship efficiency standards to ensure the organisation’s climate targets are met.
