ISWG-GHG 22 Concludes as Stakeholders Assess Net-Zero Framework Progress
Non-profit groups and industry observers have responded to the latest IMO working group talks, where around 1,200 delegates evaluated proposals for the Net-Zero Framework.
Environmental and human rights non-profit organisations have offered their assessments following the conclusion of the 22nd session of the International Maritime Organization's Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships. The proceedings centred on negotiations surrounding the development and refinement of the IMO Net-Zero Framework.
According to the IMO, approximately 1,200 delegates registered to participate in the working group session. The discussions encompassed a range of submissions and regulatory proposals concerning the framework that had been introduced during earlier Marine Environment Protection Committee sessions as well as past and present working group meetings.
The working group's Norwegian chairperson, Sveinung Oftedal, indicated in an IMO statement that there was a genuine willingness among participants to secure concrete further progress in addressing key concerns related to the framework.
The discussions reflect ongoing efforts within the UN maritime body to refine mid-term technical and economic measures, as civil society organisations, technical experts, and member states continue to evaluate the trajectory of international shipping decarbonisation policies.
