Summary
Namibia, a coastal nation in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), relies heavily on maritime transport for exporting key commodities like uranium and fish and importing essential goods such as petroleum. The IMO’s Revised Strategy on the Reduction of GHGs from Ships (IMO, 2023) has established a range of ambitious decarbonization 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 Namibia. This paper presents an analysis on the possible impacts of these four leading policy architectures on three of Namibia’s most economically significant merchandise trades.
