PIDF Talanoa June 2018: What made it into the Initial IMO GHG Strategy and what didn’t. Priorities for ISWG GHG 4 and MEPC 73. 

This paper provides background for the PIDF hosted Pacific Maritime Technical Officers Workshop 7-9 February 2018.

Ms. Isabelle Rojon, a Research Associate at University College London (UCL) was a guest speaker at this talanoa, presenting on shipping sector GHG emissions. UCL has been looking at evidence of recent trends in shipping efficiency and emissions, as well as researching on how the future of shipping emissions look globally and in the Pacific. In 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UCL and the University of the South Pacific (USP) and they have been working together to answer fundamental questions such as (i) what will it take for the shipping industry to decarbonize and (ii) what will the fuel mix and propulsion technology look like?
