A united front for the climate

The International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s contribution to the global efforts to address climate change feature prominently in our strategic plan. The mandatory data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships, which comes into force from March this year, provides robust data and information about future decisions concerning additional measures, over and above those already adopted, that can be made. We have committed to produce a comprehensive strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships, beginning with an initial strategy that will be adopted at the 72nd session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee this April in London.
