The global climate agreement for shipping was not adopted, as the member states of the UN Maritime Organization IMO could not reach an agreement. The agreement is thus postponed for at least a year, and this is of concern to the Danish Minister of Industry and Trade Morten Bødskov (S). This is stated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
- A sad day for the green transition. The climate agreement for global shipping has been postponed by one year. A global agreement is needed as soon as possible. Now we continue the fight for an ambitious green transition for shipping. I would like to thank the industry for its great support, says Morten Bødskov.
According to the ministry, the negotiations have been characterized by a difficult geopolitical situation and agendas that were not about shipping. The climate agreement should have otherwise built on the IMO's climate strategy from 2023.
Denmark will now work together with the EU and other like-minded countries in the IMO to ensure progress in the work on global regulation. The goal is that shipping can deliver on the ambition of climate neutrality by 2050.
According to the Ministry of Business and Industry, a global agreement is crucial for Danish shipping companies and maritime companies, which need clear and predictable frameworks in the green transition.
