The AAMA has developed recommendations to address the risks and opportunities presented by the IMO's Net Zero Framework (NZF) on shipping emissions. At a recent workshop in Mombasa, they called for priority actions to mitigate adverse impacts on African economies and promote fairness in implementation.

The AAMA aims to consolidate member states' proposals for submission to the IMO, advocate for equitable carbon pricing, and pursue coordinated engagement with partners for financing green transitions. A roadmap with timelines for implementation and periodic check-ins was also proposed to ensure progress towards meeting the NZF objectives.
