In this regard, IMO will address the challenges and opportunities presented by ongoing developments in technology, the protection and preservation of the marine environment, tackling climate change, improving the well-being and competence of seafarers, and strengthening the resilience of the maritime industry and global supply chains. .2 To achieve this, IMO will focus on the review, development, implementation of and compliance with IMO instruments in its pursuit to proactively identify, analyze and address emerging issues. IMO will support Member States in achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including through capacity development, taking into account the Organization's Capacity-Building
