Organized by the World Maritime Forum, Ocean Conservancy and Environmental Defense Fund, the Latin American Roundtable on Regional Opportunities for Decarbonizing Maritime Transport was held virtually on March 30-31. 

The aim of the roundtable was to bring together high-level representatives from across the region - including representatives from government, the maritime industry and international organizations - to discuss opportunities related to the decarbonization of shipping, in particular, the production and commercialization of zero-emission marine fuels in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Secretariats of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UN-ECLAC) have provided expert advice to the roundtable organizers.
