Reference Answer

### Introduction to the 2023 IMO Revised GHG Strategy
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a revised strategy for the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from ships in 2023. This landmark strategy establishes a clear and ambitious pathway for the maritime industry to achieve decarbonization, aligning its goals with the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement. It outlines a comprehensive framework comprising key objectives, a phased timeline of measures, and addresses the potential impacts on the industry, aiming for a just and equitable transition towards a net-zero future.
### 1. Key Objectives and Levels of Ambition
The strategy sets forth specific, quantifiable objectives based on a 2008 baseline. A critical principle underpinning these objectives is the adoption of a lifecycle “well-to-wake” approach, which accounts for emissions across the entire fuel supply chain, from production to onboard combustion.
