Climate change solutions

Climate change experts meeting in Paris this week will today (2 December) hear about IMO’s extensive efforts to address GHG emissions from shipping. IMO has adopted the only global legally-binding energy efficiency measures for an industry sector that will require ships built in 2025 to be 30% more energy efficient than those built last year. At a side event on international transport, IMO will report on its work to support their implementation, particularly in developing countries. Delegates will hear about theGloMEEP project to promote partnerships in maritime energy-efficiency technology and other important initiatives. World leaders are in Paris for the 21st annual Conference of Parties (COP 21) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
