PSIDS to lobby for a long-term commitment to decarbonise shipping sector at next round of IMO Negotiations

Meetings during the 79th Session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 79) and the Inter-Sessional Working Group on Greenhouse Gases (ISWG-GHG 13) are going to be key for Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) in ensuring a 1.5 agenda is built into the revised International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Strategy, which will be adopted during MEPC 80, in 2023.

A bundle of four submissions has been submitted to ISWG-GHG 13 and MEPC 79 in December, building up to MEPC 80.
