Joel Ong published a blog post on ‘Decarbonization of International Shipping: Importance of Alternative ‘Green’ Fuels‘ with the Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE) on 1 April 2024.

It examines how the International Maritime Organization (IMO) – the United Nations specialized agency responsible for safe, secure and efficient shipping and the prevention of ship-source pollution – attempts to regulate shipping emissions, and why it is important to examine the implications of alternative fuels development to climate change and reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping.
