  "summary": "The 22nd IMO Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships (ISWG-GHG 22), held in London, saw broad support for core elements of the Net-Zero Framework (NZF), but also a push for softer near-term GFI targets. While 63 out of 79 member states voted in favor of the draft NZF, 11 months later, divisions have shifted towards a softer start, with 30 member states open to easing GHG fuel intensity (GFI) reduction requirements between 2029-35. The key challenge lies in settling on GFI trajectory, compliance system, financial mechanism, and incentives for zero- and near-zero-emission fuels, with several implementation guidelines still unfinished.",
