One week on from the extraordinary meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee at the IMO, and many in shipping are still asking themselves the same question: what on earth happens next?

Here at Lloyd’s List we’ve been busy gathering the thoughts of as many people as possible from across the sector to help answer that question.

Earlier this week, Declan Bush explained what actually went down on a crazy Friday afternoon last week at the Albert Embankment, giving a blow by blow account of how the US and Saudi Arabia were able to successfully postpone the vote on the Net-Zero Framework for an entire year.

But now we’re looking at what comes next. Can the IMO come back around the table next year and get consensus on the world’s first carbon price? Or are the divisions simply too great to heal?

Joining Joshua on the podcast are:

Arsenio Dominguez, secretary-general, International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Tristan Smith, professor of energy and transport, UCL

Emma Scheiris, deputy director of environment, INTERTANKO

Stuart Neil, director of strategy and communications, International Chamber of Shipping
