Yesterday's Shaping the Future of Shipping: Delivering a Net Zero World conference established a path for implementing the International Maritime Organization's net zero agenda. ICS reports that around 60 groups met to explore ways to fulfil the lofty net zero objectives by 2050.

A new initiative has emerged during COP 28, the “2030 Shipping Pact for People and Nature (SPPaN)”, to address the interconnected challenges of pollution, biodiversity loss, and the climate crisis and the potential co-benefits of shipping decarbonization for people and nature.
