Crucially, strengthening the target by the IMO\u2019s 2023 strategy revision date is imperative, something that has been deliberated extensively this week at MEPC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote quote-simple-is-layout-flow\"><p>The longer the delay in setting new targets, the steeper subsequent decarbonisation trajectories<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Professor Alice Larkin from the University of Manchester argued that the longer the delay in setting new targets, the steeper subsequent decarbonisation trajectories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has to be all hands on deck for international shipping now. Immediate action that focuses on operational change and retrofitting existing ships is needed to deliver major emissions reductions this decade, or shipping cannot deliver its fair part in meeting the Paris climate goals\u201d she said, adding: \u201cDelay beyond 2023 would mean the future transition for international shipping is too rapid to be feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEPC delegates discussed the Marshall Islands\u2019 and Solomon Islands\u2019 resolution proposal for zero emission shipping by 2050 on Monday. In the end, just eight countries supported the zero by 2050 resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMOP-targets.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155736\" width=\"748\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMOP-targets.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/splash247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMOP-targets-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/splash247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMOP-targets-768x445.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research from the University of Manchester shows that the current climate targets set for international shipping are far too lax, and would mean the sector cannot play its fair part in meeting the Paris climate goals.
