Clean Shipping Coalition letter to the head of IMO Mr Lim

January 11, 2017

The Clean Shipping Coalition is surprised and disappointed by your letter to the president of the European Parliament (EP) criticising last month’s decision by the EP’s Environment Committee to include EU-related shipping emissions in the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme.

We hope now Mr Secretary-General that you will take stock and direct your efforts towards those IMO member states and others that are blocking and slowing down action at IMO level, so that we can more swiftly reach an ambitious global agreement on ship GHG emissions. In this we can assure you and the IMO of CSC’s continued support.
