2050 target year
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) concluded its meeting yesterday on the decarbonization of large ships and succeeded in maintaining its 2050 targets. Initial targets were sustained despite attempts by a group of countries to slow the pace of emission cuts.
The shipping sector emits as much greenhouse gas as all of Japan, which is why the decarbonization strategy the sector will follow is being closely watched by the international community. The IMO's decision is considered an important step for global climate goals.
