About this event
To deliver on the goal of net zero emissions for shipping by 2050, IMO greenhouse gas regulations must rest on solid foundations.
Further developing the outline shared by WSC Chair and Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen together with several liner shipping CEOs at COP 28 Green Shipping Challenge, John Butler and Bryan Wood-Thomas will present the four cornerstones that the WSC consider to be critical to an effective legal instrument.
The presentation will be followed by Questions & Answers.
