This is the case of fisheries\, shipping\ , and cruise tourism.Mitigation and adaptation policies for ocean-based se ctors are defined on sectoral basis\, particularly for the shipping sector under the IMO GHG emission reduction strategy (2023)\, or on national bas is through the NDCs. They can also be defined by private sector actors on voluntary basis under their Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) stra tegies or commitment to net zero.  For fisheries and cruise tourism secto rs\, no international or even regional emission reduction targets have bee n committed to.The objective of this session is to identify main strategie s for decarbonization in place\, identify relevant multilateral and region al policy\, regulatory and data gaps and identify most promising technolog ies\, sectoral\, trade and investment incentives that could speed up a ren ewable energy transition\, particularly in developing countries. This eve nt will be live streamedJoin us onlineProgrammeModerator:Jan Hoffmann\, He ad of Trade Logistics Branch\, DTL\, UNCTADSetting the scene:Ms. Chantal L ine Carpentier\, Head of Trade\, Environment\, Climate Change and Sustaina ble Development Branch\, DITC\, UNCTAD Keynote:Mr. Didacus Jules\, Direct or General\, OECSPanellists:Mr. Kim Friedman\, Senior Fisheries Resources Officer\, FAO Mr. Roel Hoenders\, Head\, Air Pollution and Energy Efficien cy\, IMOMr. Frédéric Degret\, Special Advisor to UNWTO Secretary-Genera l on Climate and Ocean Action\, UNWTOMr. Charles Darr\, Executive Vice Pr esident\, Maritime Policy and Government Affairs\, MSCMs. Valeria Ramundo Orlando\, Partner\, and Co-founder at Greensquare Ventures Mr. Cosmin Chiv u\, Project Officer\, International Oceans Institute Q&\;A<\;p>\;T he ocean economy offers a new economic frontier for coastal and island Sta tes provided natural resource use and growth is managed in an economic\, s ocial\, and environmentally sustainable manner. &\;nbsp\;Some ocean eco nomic sectors are energy and fossil fuel intensive and can significantly c ontribute to global emissions.
