Caribbean countries advance maritime decarbonization roadmap

Caribbean countries and maritime stakeholders have collaborated to develop a draft regional roadmap aimed at advancing maritime decarbonization and ensuring a just transition across the region. The initiative, known as the Caribbean Regional Roadmap for Maritime Decarbonization and a Just Transition (2027–2035), was developed during a workshop in Georgetown, Guyana, and aims to provide a shared framework for coordinated regional action, technical cooperation, and investment.

The roadmap identifies five strategic priorities: policy, governance and regional cooperation; energy-efficient shipping, green ports, and digitalization; sustainable marine fuels, bunkering, and green corridors; financing, investment, and project development; and capacity development, safety, and just transition. The next steps involve circulating the draft to member states for national consultations, followed by consideration through regional mechanisms and potential submission to IMO's Technical Cooperation Committee.
