Ministers and officials are having regular discussions with the maritime sector on the topics of decarbonisation and COP26, as decarbonising shipping is essential to achieving the target of net zero greenhouse gases across the economy by 2050 and delivering on the International Maritime Organisation ‘Initial Strategy on the Reduction of GHG from Ships’. These discussions will continue to intensify in the coming months to support efforts towards maritime decarbonisation at COP26 and beyond.
