IMO has delivered the first in a series of tailor-made workshops to help Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) implement IMO’s GHG Strategy and address other GHG-related issues specific to their regions.
The five-day online course took place as part of a four-year training programme funded by the Republic of Korea (RoK) and implemented by IMO.
The IMO-RoK GHG SMART training workshop allowed more than 20 participants to learn and network with each other using an interactive platform that also supported the delivery of live lectures from international experts in the field of maritime decarbonization.
Although future courses will be tailor-made to suit the learning needs of participants, the first training workshop has been developed based on previous consultations with LDCs and SIDS and comprises six learning modules which will be followed by a field visit to the Republic of Korea:
- Module 1: International Regulatory Framework
- Module 2: Global Efforts, IMO GHG Strategy and related MARPOL Annex VI Regulations
- Module 3: Development of NAP and awareness raising on Impact Assessments.
- Module 4: Shipping and Ports Decarbonization
- Module 5: Shipping and Ports Alternative Fuels
- Module 6: Climate Finance and Maritime Decarbonization
- Module 7: Industrial Visits and Work Placement
IMO’s Department for Partnerships and Projects (DPP) is working directly with LDCs and SIDS to organize further GHG SMART workshops in the near future.
