The aim of the Global Maritime Energy Efficiency Partnership (GloMEEP) Project is to contribute to a significant reduction of GHG emissions from international shipping via enabling 10 Lead Pilot Countries (LPCs) to take a lead in the respective developing regions to pursue relevant Legal, Policy and Institutional Reforms (LPIR), capacity building and enhance private-public partnerships for innovation and technology deployment.
While the long-term goal is the reduction of GHG emissions and mitigation of their impact on the oceans, the project is achieving its goals through the development of global guidance and methodology documents and templates, their national implementation, capacity building as well as information exchange platforms, and piloting these interventions with the assistance and involvement of the 10 selected LPCs.
The project contains a stream of work that aims to bring together like-minded maritime private industry champions and leverage the human, technological and financial resources of the industry to support an energy efficient and low carbon maritime transport system.
Progress reports
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
Type of commitment
- Other (please specify): Protect marine ecosystems from shipping-mediated ocean acidification
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
Type of commitment
- CO2 emission reductions (energy efficiency, renewable energy, etc.)
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
Type of commitment
- Training and professional development
- Transfer marine technology
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in UNCLOS, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of The Future We Want
Type of commitment
- Activities to raise awareness of the comprehensive legal and policy framework for the sustainable development of oceans and seas, in particular UNCLOS, its Implementing Agreements and other relevant ocean-related instruments and promote their effective im
- Ratification, accession and acceptance of UNCLOS, its Implementing Agreements and other relevant ocean-related instruments
- Activities to develop the capacity of States towards broader participation in and effective implementation of UNCLOS and its implementing Agreements
- Strengthening ocean governance, for example through the development of a national ocean policy or regional ocean policy
- Development of necessary infrastructure and/or enforcement capabilities to comply with international law, as reflected in UNCLOS and as complemented by other ocean-related instruments
