Summary
Malawi is a landlocked country with a dependence on maritime transport to export important goods like tobacco and import essential commodities like fertilizer and gasoline. The IMO’s Revised Strategy on the Reduction of GHGs from Ships (IMO, 2023) has established a range of ambitious decarbonisation objectives for the international shipping sector that includes the elimination of GHG emissions by 2050. To achieve these objectives, four leading policy architectures are currently under consideration at the IMO, each expected to result in significant economic impacts for states such as Malawi. This paper presents an analysis on the possible impacts of these four leading policy architectures on three of Malawi’s most economically significant merchandise trades.
