SUMMARY:Climate change mitigation and energy transition (continued)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 IMO GHG Strategy defines the pathway to reach net-zero
  GHG emissions from international shipping close to 2050\, including inter
 mediate milestones for 2030 and 2040.The session will discuss the opportun
 ities and challenges for green shipping in the Caribbean and SIDS in gener
 al.Participants will engage in interactive discussions focusing on the imp
 lementation of the newly adopted 2023 IMO GHG Strategy\, the underlying ne
 eds and gaps facing Caribbean SIDS and how these can be tackled. They will
  also identify ways in which Caribbean SIDS can mitigate the energy transi
 tion costs\, which are translated into higher maritime logistics costs.The
  session would conclude with a set of action-oriented exchange of views as
  to how Caribbean SIDS can participate in the energy transition in interna
 tional shipping\, by decarbonizing maritime transport while tapping the op
 portunities and the benefits that may arise from the energy transition and
  mitigating the potential transition costs. Programme Moderator:Roel Hoe
