Organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in London & the One Ocean Hub

This seminar will highlight the problem posed by climate change, an issue at the core of the interface between shipping activity and sustainable development. It will provide an explanation of the effects of climate change on the ocean, coastlines, and coastal communities that have been disproportionately impacted by increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities. This seminar will also provide an opportunity to discuss innovations that can support maritime transport sustainability.
