Heartbreaking news and images are emerging of the devastation caused by the earthquake in Vanuatu. My thoughts are with families and friends in Vila and everyone affected.

Great discussion with Singapore’s Minister for Transport, Mr. Chee Hong Tat, on the existential threat of climate change and the IMO’s crucial work in decarbonizing shipping. We acknowledged the challenges but agreed that action is essential.

Crucial negotiations continue this week at the IMO as the world debates measures to decarbonize the shipping sector. Tuvalu stands firm with the PAC6+ coalition, advocating for a universal carbon levy that ensures both fairness and ambition. The time for decisive action now.

🌱 A Fair Transition for All Nations 🌱 The shipping industry must contribute its fair share to the fight against climate change. A shipping levy can fund clean energy, support vulnerable nations, and ensure no country is left behind. linkedin.com/pulse/brazil-m…

🌍🇹🇻 At IMO MEPC 83, Tuvalu stood with our 6PAC+ & Indian Ocean friends to call for equity, ambition & inclusion in shipping decarbonisation. We didn’t get the outcome we hoped for—but history was made. A global precedent has been set. Safe travels home, my friends.
