IMO’s public-private partnership initiative to tackle GHG emissions, the Global Industry Alliance to Support Low Carbon Shipping (Low Carbon GIA), has launched a free to access E-Learning course aimed at seafarers and anyone interested in this aspect of shipping. The self-paced course, ‘An Introduction to Energy Efficient Ship Operation’ is intended as a first glimpse into how GHG emissions from ships can be addressed.
The course is hosted by the UN Climate Change Learning Partnership (UN CC:Learn), a joint initiative of more than 30 multilateral organizations helping countries to achieve climate change action both through general climate literacy and applied skills development. A certificate of completion is awarded to learners who successfully complete the course assessments. For participants with limited internet access or time online, a PDF version can be downloaded to allow for offline learning and can come back to take the quiz online.
