Climate Week NYC 2026
Climate Week NYC, the world's largest climate gathering, held alongside the UN General Assembly, is approaching fast and The Sustainable Shipping Initiative will be attending.
Across a week of cross-sector conversations on policy and real-world action, we'll be championing a sustainable future for the maritime industry. More on where to find us, including events and speaking engagements, will follow soon. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss partnership opportunities or ways to get involved.
COP31
The Sustainable Shipping Initiative will be at COP31 in Antalya, joining governments, industry and civil society as the world turns its focus to accelerating implementation of the Paris Agreement. Shipping's transition is central to the wider decarbonisation story, and we'll be there as active participants across the conference.
Full details of our sessions, speakers and partner activities will be shared here soon. We’d love to hear from you if you are attending and looking for a way to get involved.
Accelerating Maritime Progress: Findings from the Shipping and Ocean Health 2026 Report
SSI is excited to host the Q2 Community Webinar for the Marine Biodiversity and Ocean Health Breakthrough for International Shipping.
Join SSI Ocean Health Lead, JD Carlton, and professionals from the maritime and ocean sectors for a view to the future supporting a more sustainable shipping industry for the world’s oceans. The webinar will feature an overview of major maritime developments to reduce negative ocean impacts, an introduction to the Shipping and Ocean Health 2026 report, and a discussion between maritime professionals about how the sector can continue to progress.
We look forward to hosting you and continuing to foster collaboration across the sector for action to reduce our impacts on ocean health and marine biodiversity.

Marine Biodiversity & Ocean Health Breakthrough
The Marine Biodiversity and Ocean Health Breakthrough was launched at COP29 as the first sector-wide maritime initiative to integrate ocean health, ecosystem resilience, and decarbonisation into a single framework. This closed expert workshop brings together practitioners from across shipping, ocean conservation, finance, and policy to review progress against the Breakthrough Roadmap, test its ambitions, and agree priority actions for the period leading to COP32.
The session is an opportunity to celebrate what the sector has achieved, strengthen shared commitments, and ensure the Roadmap remains a credible and practical tool for collective action through to 2030.

Commercial Pathways to Transition
The commercial structures that shipping runs on were not designed for transition. Charter parties, broker incentives, newbuild specification windows, and financing terms: none of them naturally reward the decisions that decarbonisation requires. Some in the industry are finding ways through that. Most are not.
On 23 June in London, SSI brings together senior leaders from across the value chain to examine where the friction sits and what is actually working. SSI will present findings from its market intelligence programme, drawing on extensive engagement with shipyards, brokers, owners, charterers and technology providers across major maritime centres.
A panel of senior voices from finance, law, ownership and operations follows.
Invitation-only. Places are limited, and the audience is selected. Register your interest below, and we will confirm your place.
This event is for: Shipowners, operators, ship managers, charterers, bankers, insurers, brokers, and lawyers.
