The Project Preparation Kick-Off Meeting for the IKI/IMO Blue Solutions Project was held virtually on June 28th 2021 via a Microsoft Teams conference call.
Seeking to contribute to tackling the global challenge, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and Partnerships for Environmental Management in the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) are developing the Blue Solutions project, which will bring together various countries in the East Asian region to work on pilot projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of their ships-port system. This project is funded through the German Government’s International Climate Initiative (IKI). Initial development of the project is taking place this year, with the full project expected to run from 2022 to 2026.
