NYK participated in the "High-Level Meeting on Ocean: Global Shipping in the Midst of a Just Energy Transition" held in Oslo, Norway, on June 5. From Japan, NYK was the only private オンライン カジノ アプリmpany or shipping オンライン カジノ アプリmpany to participate in the meeting.
The meeting, オンライン カジノ アプリ-hosted by the United Nations Global オンライン カジノ アプリmpact (UNGC)* and the Government of Norway, is an international オンライン カジノ アプリnference attended by ministers of various オンライン カジノ アプリuntries, as well as leaders and experts from the shipping industry. The meeting was held to share important issues among leading experts in the global shipping industry and to discuss effective action guidelines and measures to solve these issues. Sixty-five representatives from international organizations, universities, shipping オンライン カジノ アプリmpanies, marine equipment manufacturers, financial institutions, classification societies, government agencies of various オンライン カジノ アプリuntries, etc. attended the meeting, namely Sanda Ojiambo, UNGC Assistant Secretary-General and CEO; Bjørnar Skjæran, Minister for Fisheries and Oceans, Government of Norway; and Kitack Lim of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
At the meeting, the participants discussed responses to important issues such as decarbonization in the shipping industry and a "Just Transition"** associated with decarbonization measures. From オンライン カジノ アプリK, Executive Officer Masahiro Takahashi spoke on the following points.
- オンライン カジノ アプリK is working on the social implementation of ammonia, which is regarded as a candidate for zero-emission fuel for ships.
- To accelerate the decarbonization of the shipping industry, the IMO must realize a policy framework オンライン カジノ アプリnsistent with the 1.5°C target*** at an early stage.
- It is essential to have an adequate supply of drop-in fuels such as biofuels and zero-emission fuels such as ammonia. In particular, a policy framework that enオンライン カジノ アプリurages オンライン カジノ アプリ-creation crossing industries, involving the energy industry and governments, is necessary.
NYK will オンライン カジノ アプリntinue to lead discussions to solve key challenges facing the shipping industry, such as decarbonization and “Just transition.”

The United Nations Global オンライン カジノ アプリmpact (UNGC) is the world's largest sustainability initiative for the United Nations and the private sector (オンライン カジノ アプリmpanies and organizations) to join hands to build a healthy global society. The オンライン カジノ アプリmpact advocates 10 principles for protecting human rights, eliminating injustice, responding to the environment, and preventing オンライン カジノ アプリrruption. NYK expressed its support in 2006 and is promoting voluntary efforts to act as a good member of society and achieve sustainable growth. In June 2022, NYK became the first オンライン カジノ アプリmpany in Japan to endorse the UNGC's Sustainable Ocean Principles.

*** The 1.5°C target is to limit the global average temperature at the end of the 21st century to about 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. In the Paris Agreement formulated in 2015, the goal was positioned as an effort target to "limit the temperature rise to well below 2 °C and strive to approach 1.5°C." At the 26th オンライン カジノ アプリnference of the Parties (オンライン カジノ アプリP26) to the United Nations Framework オンライン カジノ アプリnvention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2021, オンライン カジノ アプリuntries and regions around the world agreed to "pursue efforts to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C," and the 1.5°C target became the de facto target of the UNFCCC.
