Clean Shipping Coalition Urges IMO Members to Uphold Net-Zero Framework
Environmental organisations have called on International Maritime Organization member states to maintain backing for the Net-Zero Framework ahead of key climate talks.
The Clean Shipping Coalition has urged member nations of the International Maritime Organization to preserve their commitment to the Net-Zero Framework. This appeal comes ahead of a key meeting scheduled at the United Nations shipping agency next week.
The Net-Zero Framework serves as the IMO's negotiated compromise agreement aimed at directing climate action across the international maritime industry.
Advocacy groups are encouraging delegates to stay aligned with the established framework and disregard alternative submissions that they argue could weaken collective progress toward decarbonisation targets.
