本論文は、IMOの2023年GHG戦略を分析し、2050年ネットゼロ目標が技術的障壁、高コスト、市場メカニズム不足などの課題から非現実的であると指摘する。定性的分析を通じて、規制執行や業界支援の不足が原因とし、2030年までに20-30%の排出削減を達成するための現実的解決策を提案する。
English
This study analyzes the IMO's 2023 GHG strategy, arguing that the net-zero by 2050 target is unrealistic due to technological barriers, high costs, and insufficient market-based measures. Through qualitative analysis, it identifies gaps in regulatory enforcement and industry support, and proposes solutions to achieve 20-30% emissions reduction by 2030.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) finally has aligned its decarbonization target with the Paris agreement target of net-zero emissions by 2050 through adoption of the 2023 IMO GHG strategy revoking its previous 2018 GHG strategy. The IMO has been working towards decarbonization of shipping for nearly two decades now through implementing policies but unable to control the GHG emissions from shipping as global trade among countries has increased drastically. There is still a gap in fully understanding how carbon emissions are being reduced in international shipping, especially when it comes to the policies and actions in place making it harder to create solid, informed policies. Thus, the latest policy is being applauded by policymakers and business communities and simultaneously facing criticism from other stakeholders on being ambitious but unrealistic. Through a qualitative analysis approach, this study reveals why the IMO’s ambitious policy goals are considered unrealistic. The results show that, the IMO, despite setting an ambitious target of net-zero emissions by 2050, due to issues like- technological barriers, high costs, limited market-based support and implication on regulatory enforcement, is still falling behind on its GHG emission reduction pathway. This paper also suggests some realistic solutions which could help immediate cut down of GHG emissions from shipping and attain the IMO’s net-zero emission reduction target by 2050 and in the process attain 20% to 30% GHG near emission reduction target by 2030.
