IMO's objectives for COP 28

IMO's main objectives for the Dubai Climate Change Conference (COP 28) are, in all communications, to seek to make clear that:

  • international shipping is indispensable to the world and is a vital industry to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the global energy transition; and

  • as its track record to date so clearly demonstrates, including through the adoption of the 2023 IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG emissions from ships in July 2023, IMO is the appropriate international body to continue work to address GHG emissions from ships engaged in international trade.
