The IMO adopts its revised greenhouse gas strategy
node
At the eightieth session of its Marine Environment Protection Committee, the International Maritime Organization adopts a revised strategy whose stated level of ambition is net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by or around, that is close to, 2050, with indicative checkpoints for 2030 and 2040 and an explicit intent to adopt mid-term measures comprising a technical greenhouse gas fuel standard and an economic pricing element. The strategy is not itself binding law; it is the mandate under which binding amendments were then to be negotiated. The hedged formulation "by or around" is the visible residue of a negotiation between states with very different exposure to shipping costs.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
