In 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a strategy for net-zero emissions by or around 2050, driving major changes in shipbuilding, operations, policy, and regulations. These changes also create wide opportunities to reduce biodiversity loss and pollution from shipping. This panel will examine how cross-disciplinary science, international agreements, and national and private sector actions can converge for the shipping sector to address the triple planetary crisis as it decarbonizes. While our focus will be on the Arctic, the discussion will have broader implications.
