Abstract
In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the ‘Initial IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships', the first tangible achievement of the roadmap it set for itself in November 2016. This article assesses the IMO's Initial Strategy in light of the long‐term goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, and considers its ambition, adequacy and effectiveness in ensuring a fair contribution to the global decarbonization effort. The article offers a brief history of efforts to reduce emissions from international shipping under the United Nations climate regime and the IMO. It then discusses the key elements of the 2018 IMO Strategy, followed by an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses.
