(13a) The IMO adopted on 13 April 2018 an initial strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships, seeking to cap the increase of those emissions as soon as possible and to reduce them by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008, and to pursue efforts towards phasing them out as soon as possible in this century. Work is currently ongoing at the IMO to adopt short-term emissions reduction measures, which are expected to be adopted by 2023 and will constitute the first step towards the achievement of the IMO’s 2050 objective. The EU should engage constructively with IMO Member States to reach a global agreement on the GHG emissions reduction measures.
