60 maritime organisations and government partners have agreed on a course to deliver on the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s net zero targets by or around 2050 at Shaping the Future of Shipping, an event hosted by the International Chamber of Shipping and the government of the UAE on the sidelines of COP28 in Dubai.
More than 300 leaders, including over 30 nationalities from across the world, from the entire energy-maritime value chain convened, to work together to deliver a robust regulatory outcome at the IMO negotiations in March 2024 at MEPC81. The summit built on the discussions that have taken place throughout COP28, to determine ambitious solutions to advance infrastructure, fuel availability and financing.
The summit was part of the COP28 presidency programme and hosted under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. The event was organised by a coalition of leading maritime industry bodies and coordinated by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), in partnership with the Emirates Shipping Association.
