Ipieca support for UN conventions - January - March
4 April 2025
Find out how Ipieca has supported UN initiatives on climate, nature, people, and sustainability over the past three months.
One of Ipieca’s core roles is to support UN conventions and agreements. We do this by raising awareness of and providing technical support for them, and developing good practice to enable oil, gas and alternative energy companies to contribute to their fulfilment.
UN conferences, forums and webinars
The IMO’s 18th meeting on reducing shipping GHG emissions
This meeting focused on gathering inputs to support its strategy to reach net-zero GHG emissions from shipping by 2050. Ipieca delegates contributed technical inputs to discussions, co-sponsored a proposal for an IMO sustainable fuels certification framework and held a side event on ‘Considerations related to the production, distribution and bunkering of future marine fuels required to enable delivery of the IMO Revised GHG strategy'.
Benelux Union-UNEP roundtable on cleaner fuels exports
Ipieca was invited to take part in this roundtable focused on the global harmonisation of fuel standards and how to stop the exportation of polluting fuels to countries outside the European Union and European Economic Area. It convened representatives from the Benelux countries, European institutions, the United Nations, and African and European stakeholders.
Thirteenth Meeting of the ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection
An Ipieca delegation of sustainable aviation fuel experts attended the Thirteenth Meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection. Our role with the ICAO is to provide technical expertise in relevant working groups around sustainable aviation fuels and lower carbon aviation fuels.
Ipieca’s new interactive dashboard highlights key findings from our annual sustainability reporting surveys conducted since 2012, enabling year-on-year comparisons of reporting practices and changing priorities across the industry.
By reporting on their emissions, resource management, and other sustainability-related activities, companies can show how they are contributing to the Paris Agreement's goals.
SDG 12, target 6 encourages companies to integrate sustainability information into their reporting.
Members only global flood and drought risk tools
Ipieca has developed a replicable members only methodology for comparing and validating flood and drought risk tools with local data.
This aligns with the following
