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.

Shipping: IMO’s Net Zero Framework Progresses But ENGOs Slam Unnecessary Delay

As this week’s meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC 84, April 27-May 1) closes today, the Clean Shipping Coalition welcomed support from the majority of member states for the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF) despite pressure from US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Panama, Liberia, and other petro-states, but called out the threat of further delays to adoption, which is now scheduled for early December.

Global Shipping Climate Deal Edges Closer: IMO Member States Urged to Hold Line

Ahead of next week’s meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC 84, April 27-May 1), the Clean Shipping Coalition welcomed progress made during this week’s intersessional meeting and called on member states to “hold the line against those looking to once again disrupt and delay” on the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF).

This Week Crucial to IMO’s Plans to Slash GHG Emissions from Shipping

Member states must use these coming days to build out key guidelines, such as those for incentives for first movers and how to measure the emissions from different fuels, to allow for adoption of the Net Zero Framework later this year.
