This introductory course is intended as a first glimpse into how GHG emissions from ships
can be addressed. It covers the regulatory framework of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to
address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships and explain various measures which can improve
the energy efficiency of ships, and thereby reduce GHG emissions and contribute to the mitigation of
climate change
