Shipping Post cop26


This event brought together key players from across the shipping ecosystem and a broad range of stakeholders such as finance and insurance to determine how to deliver on that potential in light of the conclusions from COP26.
Participants explored climate actions being taken in the wider global economy; how shipping’s existing decarbonization plans fit with ever-increasing ambition; and how we can both drive down short-term emissions to stay within the goals of the Paris Accord and make the longer term system transition to a net zero future.
Working with the UN’s Global Action Plan for Transport as a guide, International Futures Forum facilitated a deep dive into what’s missing that might release the potential for urgent change within the sector. From this they identified tangible, immediate actions we can take; and promising avenues for further exploration together.
Together we can create the shipping industry for the future.
