CMP101 – Module A03
CMP101.A03 Internal carbon pricing (ICP) Internal carbon pricing (ICP) is a secret weapon that can play a major role in incentivising private sector action to cut GHG emissions and manage climate-related risks. It puts a monetary value on emissions, which then feeds into business operations and investment decisions. ICP adoption has been rising over […]
CMP101 – Module B32
CMP101.B32 the IMO Net-Zero Framework In April 2025, the IMO took an important step towards establishing a legally binding framework to reduce GHG emissions from ships globally, by agreeing to the IMO Net-Zero Framework. When formally adopted, the Framework will be the first legally-binding rules that combine mandatory emission intensity limits and GHG pricing […]
