ISWG APEE 1/2/10: Illustrating the overlap of the CII with the mid-term measures, and proposing Z-factors in alignment with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy targets

This document presents evidence for the high potential of energy efficiency to contribute to the achievement of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy, and includes new calculations that show this would require a supply-based carbon intensity reduction factor of 55% by 2030, compared to 2008, equivalent to a reduction factor of 41% by 2030 compared to 2019. The analysis also shows that it would be possible to quite easily go beyond the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy targets and align shipping emission reductions with a genuine 1.5°C Paris Agreement trajectory.

IMO Climate Agreement Shipwreck Misses Targets and Betrays Most Vulnerable

As International Maritime Organization (IMO) negotiations crucial to climate action by the global shipping sector close today, the Clean Shipping Coalition slammed IMO member states for falling far short of the UN body’s own 2030, 2040 and 2050 climate targets and failing the people and regions most vulnerable to climate change.

Lack of Urgency and Ambition Means IMO’s Climate Action Hangs in Balance

London, 4 April 2025: As week one of a marathon series of International Maritime Organization (IMO) meetings closes today, all three elements of a successful shipping industry response to the climate crisis are hanging in the balance. Low ambition and delay by IMO member states is in danger of blighting progress on revision of the […]

Pressure on IMO Member States to Agree on Global Fuel Standard and Levy

After International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states failed to reach agreement on a draft legal text during this week’s two-day meeting – a text that would have been due for approval during next week’s MEPC 83, the Clean Shipping Coalition called on governments to commit to a fuel standard and greenhouse gas pricing mechanism – a levy – for the shipping industry that would lower emission reductions. Negotiations are expected to continue this week and into next week’s meeting.
