The WSC Alternative Power Breakfast is not your usual policy panel.

It’s a fast, informal discussion over coffee with people shaping the future of shipping, going beyond position statements to share real insight and perspective. We’ll hear from EU policymakers and industry leaders as we tackle one big question before the day begins.

This time, we’re looking at what the adjournment in IMO negotiations on the Net-Zero Framework really means. The extra year on the clock could be a chance to refine and agree on a global plan that cuts emissions while keeping trade competitive.

Europe’s leadership has been key so far, but the road ahead to secure a global deal is far from simple.

Join us with WSC’s Jim Corbett moderating and speakers Sanne Frías Henriksen from Maersk, Bartlomiej Gurba from European Commission and Jasper Faber from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Netherlands for a lively morning conversation on where we go from here and whether this pause at IMO can help turn ambition into action for global shipping.
