The Global Maritime Forum is represented at the CPLC Third High-Level Assembly 2018 in Washington, DC today. The High-Level Assembly takes place as part of the World Bank Group/International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings, and focuses on the opportunities, benefits, and concerns related to carbon pricing.

Hong Kong is chosen to host the Global Maritime Forum’s inaugural Annual Summit on 3-4 October 2018. The high-level meeting will convene leaders to share their ideas on the challenges facing the maritime industry.

Global Maritime Forum, Carbon War Room, the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC), and University College London (UCL) today announced the launch of a Task Force on Decarbonizing Shipping. This industry-led initiative will develop tangible pathways for shipping’s decarbonization through five working groups, each focussed on a key area of the industry.

The Global Maritime Forum is a global platform for high-level leaders from the entire maritime spectrum and aims to effect positive long term change for the industry and for society. A global group of 14 industry leaders are founding partners to the Forum.
