Sveinung Oftedal, Specialist Director of the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment and Chair of the IMO Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships said, “Developing countries have been particularly impacted by a series of events such as the global pandemic, catastrophic incidents caused by climate change, and increasing food prices. In such difficult times, with extensive struggle to resolve these urgent crises, it is also important to avoid limiting developing countries’ ability to rise to the ongoing challenge to develop climate resilient shipping. The extension of the IMO-Norway GreenVoyage2050 project to the end of 2023 will ensure that these countries receive the necessary support and resources to make progress towards meeting their emission reduction targets.”
