Using datasets from the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Comprehensive Impact Assessment (CIA) of mid-term measures, UCL Energy Institute’s Shipping and Oceans Research group has released a new tool which allows users to quickly and easily plot the results for countries of their choice.
The UCL tool, developed by Marie Fricaudet, PhD student at the UCL Energy Institute, shows the impacts of the different policy measures on GDP, imports, exports and consumer price index in each scenario modelled by UNCTAD, in 2030, 2040 and 2050, in each country or aggregate of countries, presented as graphs or on a world map, as shown below.
The IMO CIA is a detailed evaluation of the potential effects of regulatory measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping. The assessment focuses on proposed policy instruments that aim to decarbonize the maritime sector, supporting the IMO’s target to its 2023 GHG Strategy of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by or around 2050, with intermediate checkpoints in 2030 and 2040.
