Session 3B: African Strategy On Decarbonization Of Maritime UIC And Shipping Industry

This session unveils Africa’s bold vision for transforming its maritime and shipping sectors through innovative decarbonization strategies. As the continent positions itself at the forefront of sustainable maritime practices, this discussion explores concrete actions to reduce emissions while boosting trade efficiency. This session will present an African strategy on decarbonising the maritime transport and shipping industry. Africa’s ports and maritime industries are a significant driver of economic growth. It is evident that the potential positive impact of the port and maritime sector on the socio-economic development of our continent, particularly for coastal and small island states, is accompanied by challenges related to the complexity of economic systems and climate vulnerability.
