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.

NGOs Welcome IMO Progress for Cutting Shipping’s Climate Impact Despite Net-Zero Framework Delay

As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Ships (ISWG-GHG 20) closes in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) applauds IMO Member States for rising above last week’s rancour – when the IMO decided to hold off on adoption for one year – by pushing ahead with preparations for adoption of the Net Zero Framework.

NGOs Slam UN Shipping Body Deferral of Plan to Cut Climate Pollution

As a special meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC/ES.2) closes in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) expressed its huge disappointment in the decision by member states to delay consideration of the adoption of the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF) for one year and called on member states to use the time to ensure the framework is strengthened and adopted next time round.

This Week: Is the World Ready to Tackle Shipping’s Outsized Contribution to the Climate Crisis?

As a special meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC/ES.2) opens tomorrow in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition is calling on IMO member states to adopt the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF) – set to be the first globally binding set of policies to reduce shipping’s climate pollution.
