3 MAIN PRIORITIES

4 Recent development on climate policy

The Paris Agreement was sign by 197 countries Carbon neutrality by the second half of the century Every 5 years starting from 2023: revised nationally determined

contributions USD 100 billion per year by 2020 of financial support Role of non-governmental actors clearly recognised

International maritime transport not in the Paris Agreement Managed by the IMO not by the UNFCCC In 2011, the IMO adopted the

Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), which sets compulsory energy efficiency standards for new ships, and

Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), a management tool for ship owners.

IMO is exploring market based measures (taxes, emission trading, etc.)

5 Maritime transport and climate change 800 – 1000 MtCO2e per year,

i.e. approx. as much as Germany

to be increased between 50% and 250% by 2050 – depending on future economic and energy developments

could be reduced by up to 75% by applying operational measures and implementing existing technologies

6 Role of ports for the decarbonization of maritime transport Port operations

Cargo loading and unloading processes/devices, trucks and other land-based transportation units, buildings and facilities, harbor vessels.

Ship-related port emissions reduction Reducing the time of ship stay in port (just in time operations, virtual arrival, etc.),

providing cleaner fuels, providing shore connection to ships (OPS/AMP/shorepower), etc.

Not only technical measures, but also organizational measures Importance of consistency with national climate policies

7 Mediterranean opportunities Benefit from the Mediterranean scale:

Network effect (e.g. on shorepower, LNG supply, etc.) Knowledge sharing No free rider

Mediterranean Sea has a global impact Mediterranean Ports could take the lead (e.g. on standards)

Climate adaptation measures to be considered Mediterranean ports are facing similar challenges

How to the UfM can support Mediterranean ports in this respect?
