Governments at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have agreed on a set of annual emissions reduction targets for 2028 to 2035 along with financial penalties for failing to meet them. After a week of talks in London, they voted through a decision that ship owners should reduce the emissions intensity of their vessels – the amount of climate-heating emissions per unit of fuel – by 30% by 2035 and 65% by 2040, both against 2008 levels.

The negotiations in London run until April 11 – and nothing has yet been finally agreed.

The road is only a few miles long, it is on the outskirts of a city, it was planned well before Belem was chosen to host COP30 and is going ahead now because of a change in city government. All nuances that will be ignored by anti-climate and click-chasing sections of media 🤦♂️
