International Shipping Decarbonisation Opportunities for Africa

What opportunities does the global transition towards low-carbon shipping create for Africa?

In this episode of we speak with Dr Harry Conway, Chair of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), about international shipping decarbonisation and what it means for the African continent.

The conversation explores the opportunities emerging from shipping’s transition towards decarbonisation, the challenges Africa faces in navigating this transition, and the importance of ensuring that African perspectives and expertise are part of conversations shaping the future of international shipping.

The discussion also touches on a broader question: what happens when expertise about Africa is sought from outside the continent, particularly from experts in the African diaspora, and how does this compare with the way expertise is valued and engaged within Africa?

Join us for a conversation about decarbonisation, expertise, Africa’s place in global shipping, and the opportunities that lie ahead.
