Decarbonization has become ubiquitous in shipping circles. This webinar will aim to cover the big-ticket policies and initiatives related to shipping decarbonization and what they mean in terms of climate alignment. Topics covered will include the outcomes of MEPC 76 and 77, COP 26 and initiatives such as the Science Based Targets, Sea Cargo Charter and Poseidon Principles. All of this will inform an attempt to understand what the future of the industry needs to look like to meet Paris Agreement, EU and IMO targets.
