NextGEN: Shaping the Future of Maritime
"NextGEN", where GEN is short for "Green and Efficient Navigation", is a joint project between MPA and IMO aiming to develop a collaborative global ecosystem of maritime transport decarbonisation initiatives.
NextGEN is a joint partnership by
We bring stakeholders together to catalyse impactful partnerships for the future.
Raising Awareness
We facilitate information sharing on decarbonisation initiatives across stakeholders in the maritime value-chain.
Identifying Opportunities
We identify opportunities and gaps for decarbonisation in the global shipping community.
Forming Networks
We create important networks and platforms for collaboration across these initiatives.
Maritime Decarbonisation and Digitalisation
Shipping, the backbone of global trade, is undergoing a transformation through the twin forces of Decarbonisation and Digitalisation. With the adoption of the IMO Initial Strategy for the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from ships, countries have committed to reduce CO2 emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030, and to reduce total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008. Meanwhile, digitalisation has the potential to strengthen global supply chains, build connectivity and support sustainability efforts.Amidst this changing landscape, inclusivity and collaboration has never been more important.
Changing for the future
Capacity Building and Technological Development
Global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping rely heavily on improvements in energy efficiency and increased uptake of low-carbon technologies. Better energy efficiency means less fuel is used, and that means lower emissions.Through technical co-operation, capacity building and technology transfer, we can ensure that no one is left behind in the journey towards attaining the levels of ambition in the IMO's Initial Strategy.
Changing for the future
Driving UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Through collaboration and information-sharing, NextGEN brings the maritime industry closer to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
