COP27 failed to deliver much in the way of progress but for shipping the next steps in the IMO is where we will determine the trajectory of what happens next. Fail to agree the detail and a complex, costly future awaits. There are positive signs that shipping is at least now having the right conversations, but is this too little too late? This week’s edition of the Lloyd’s List Podcast explores the impact of climate talks on shipping and what happens next.

To help explain the significance of the developments we have drafted in a super-sized team of international experts to offer analysis this week including:

Faïg Abbasov, shipping programme director at the non-governmental organisation Transport & Environment.

Simon Bergulf, Director for Regulatory Affairs at A.P. Møller-Maersk

Katharine Palmer, Shipping lead UN High-Level Champions for Climate Action

Johannah Christensen, chief executive of the Global Maritime Forum

Professor Alice Larkin, Head of the School of Engineering and a Professor in Climate Science & Energy Policy as part of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change

Guy Platten, secretary general of the International Chamber of shipping

Tristan Smith, associate professor in energy and transport at University College London
