International Chamber of Shipping announces 海上 decarbonisation summit and centenary dinner

2022年2月9日:大发黄金版网页版登录(ICS)董事会, has announced plans to mark its centenary and host a high-level summit to address the challenge of decarbonisation.

Responding to a challenge thrown down by industry leaders in Glasgow, 在COP26, ICS将与合作伙伴共同召集船东, 部长, 海上, 能源 and infrastructure leaders with the challenge of bringing forward a tangible path to decarbonise the sector. 闭门会议将于次日在伦敦举行 星期一的晚餐 2022年6月20日 at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich to mark the organisations Centenary.

ICS主席Esben Poulsson表示:

“We have heard many words and commitments over the past year but there has been very little real action. Business is about getting things done so the board has decided to use the moment when we mark our 100 years at the helm of shipping to bring the leaders of our industry, 加上其他部门的领导人和政策制定者, together to agree a tangible path forward based on reality and not just wishful thinking.

Change is only going to come if we engage beyond our usual processes. Industry needs clarity but 政治 and investment risk is at an all time high. 如果我们要打破僵局，扩大行动规模, 我们需要团结起来，塑造一个对所有人都有利的未来.”

ICS will use the summit to convene a gathering of the world’s most influential 海上, 政治, 和商界领袖到伦敦金融城. Productive conversations with governments 在COP26 highlighted the need for leaders from the entire value chain to work together to address shipping’s decarbonisation challenge.

建立在成功的基础上 塑造航运未来会议 held in Glasgow, the 塑造航运的未来 summit will take place in London on 星期二，2022年6月21日.

The summit will see industry leaders and 部长 from across the globe joined by members from the ports, 能源, 金融部门, as well as representatives of the unions and foundations to ensure workers and the developing world are at the heart of the supply chain’s green transition. 峰会将由 前英国航运部长努斯拉特·加尼议员说:

“It was clear from the previous 塑造航运的未来 conference at COP26 that shipping leaders are aligned on the need for action and are prepared to tackle headfirst the decarbonisation challenges that lie ahead.

There is a great deal of work to be done and industry and governments must come together and collaborate to rapidly accelerate the steps needed for shipping to decarbonise.

I am delighted to be moderating the 塑造航运的未来 summit, 这将使海事领域的领导人, 政府和整个供应链, to create the vital solutions needed to achieve a zero-carbon 海上 industry.”

在8号的ICS董事会上^th 2月, board members reiterated the importance of creating open dialogues between all stakeholders to find practical solutions to the barriers preventing shipping’s green transition. The ICS-led summit will convene all parties vital to shipping’s decarbonisation and move forward on resolving systemic issues to progress to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The agenda will focus on identifying practical next steps for solutions designated by industry last year including 投资于研究和发展, identifying and prioritising the most viable fuel choices for shipping, and ensuring a 只是过渡，需要实现 到2050年净零排放.

Concerns around the high levels of 政治 risk preventing a green transition were reaffirmed by the board. ICS hopes the summit can act as an antidote to the lack of ambition some governments have shown toward developing regulation and allocating finance for shipping’s decarbonisation.

实现公平公正的过渡, ICS will work with governments at the summit to progress effective regulation at a global level.

即将上任的ICS主席Emanuele Grimaldi补充道:

“We are less than thirty years away from 2050 and we have no time to waste. So, ICS is convening experts and leaders capable of turning talk into action.

“As highlighted at the 塑造航运未来会议 in Glasgow, we will only know whether the shipping industry’s efforts are a success when the transition is underway in earnest. This meeting of minds from 海上 and across industries and governments in June will be a decisive point in shipping’s green transition.”

The ICS will also celebrate the organisation’s centennial in June, marking 100 years of supporting global shipping and seafarers. 有关百周年晚宴的详情如下 可以在这里 with details of the Shaping the Future Summit to be released in due course.
