The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Kitack Lim, has urged Member States to seize the opportunity to set bold and set ambitious goals, when they adopt an initial strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping in 2018.
Speaking at the opening of the Organization’s 30th Assembly session, Secretary-General Lim told delegates the whole world would be watching IMO in 2018, looking for something of real substance.
“Next year really will be a time when the world will expect IMO Member States to deliver a clear vision as the first stage of the approved roadmap. I urge you, be bold; set ambitious goals that really will make a difference. You have a real opportunity here to do something of lasting significance. Make the most of it,” he told the packed plenary hall at IMO Headquarters in London. IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) is set to adopt an initial GHG strategy in April 2018.
More than 1,500 delegates from IMO Member States, international governmental and non-governmental organizations have registered to attend the 30th session of the IMO Assembly meets from 27 November to 6 December.
Mr. Lim outlined the key elements of the new “Strategic Plan for the Organization” for 2018 to 2023, which is expected to be adopted by the Assembly.
“The seven strategic directions point us now towards more effective rule-making and implementation processes by integrating new and advancing technology to respond to our challenges, among others, to increase ship safety, including addressing new emerging technologies such as autonomous vessels, our contribution to combat climate change, engagement in ocean governance, mitigation of cyber-crimes, and facilitation of international trade, whilst continuing to take due consideration on the human element factor,” Mr. Lim said.
He outlined his ambition to transform IMO into a “knowledge based Organization”, with appropriate analysis to support and improve the already effective rule making process and enhance implementation.
The rapidly increasing pace of change in every sphere raised a fundamental issue, since technology will move far quicker than the regulatory process, he said.
“Digital disruption will arrive in the shipping world very soon; and, when it does, IMO must be ready,” Mr. Lim said. “For me, this means the regulatory framework for shipping must be based firmly around goals and functions rather than prescriptive solutions. This is the only way to ensure that measures adopted by IMO are not rendered obsolete by the time-lag between adoption and entry-into-force. I know we have already made good steps in that direction but we must go further and faster in the coming years.”
The Organization as a whole needed to become more effective, more nimble and more adaptive, Mr. Lim said, drawing attention to his determination to push forward a "Knowledge based Organization" concept, embracing data in the Secretariat’s work and in the decision-making processes.
“We are in the era of digitalization and at the United Nations level we are already looking at frontier issues that include emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the benefits they could have in society as a whole, and to remain relevant,” Mr. Lim said.
“For IMO, we need to have more detailed and deeper analysis of statistics and data so that we can really understand underlying trends and causal factors behind shipping casualties; and we must make sure that additions and amendments to the regulatory framework are also based, wherever possible, on relevant statistics, studies and analysis. This would pave the way for better regulation, one that not only takes into account the work carried out to reduce administrative burdens, but to avoid disproportionate requirements, as well as addressing obsolete and unnecessary ones.”
IMO’s work to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the associated Sustainable Development Goals was also stressed. “Because most of the elements of the 2030 Agenda will only be realized with a sustainable transport sector supporting world trade and facilitating the global economy, aspects of IMO’s work can be linked to almost all of the individual SDGs,” Mr. Lim said.
Mr. Lim concluded by referring to the forthcoming anniversary in 2018, marking 70 years since the Convention establishing IMO was adopted in March 1948. “The theme we have selected for next year – “Our heritage – better shipping for a better future” – looks both at the past and into the next 70 years that lie ahead. It provides an opportunity to reflect and showcase how IMO has adapted over the years as a crucial player to the global supply chain,” he said.
The Rt Hon Mr. John Hayes CBE MP, Minister of State for Transport Legislation and Maritime of the United Kingdom Government, also welcomed delegates to the Assembly, as the representative of the Host State.

The Assembly Hall is located between Castlehill and Mound Place in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the meeting place of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Following the Disruption in the Church of Scotland in 1843, the emergent Free Church of Scotland urgently required a new theological college (New College) in Edinburgh, an Assembly Hall and a home for the Free High Church (the member of St Giles' Cathedral who left at the Disruption). A complex of buildings was thus designed by William Henry Playfair and built between 1845 and 1950. The Assembly Hall itself was designed by David Bryce and built in 1858-9. The back of the Hall facing Castlehill was extended east by J. M. Dick Peddie in 1885, with further work in 1901-3.
In 1900, the United Presbyterian Church and a majority of the Free Church of Scotland united as the United Free Church of Scotland; the Assembly Hall was henceforth used by the newly united church. The United Free Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland united in 1929. The Assembly Hall thus became the Assembly Hall of the reunited Church of Scotland. Overlooking the Moderator's chair, the centre of the south gallery was adapted to become the "Throne Gallery" for the Lord High Commissioner. Until 1929, the General Assemblies of the (old) Church of Scotland were held in St John's Highland Tolbooth Church (now 'The Hub'), the spire of which continues to overshadow the Assembly Hall and New College.
Edinburgh Festivals
The first dramatic success of the Edinburgh International Festival happened in 1948 and it was staged to great acclaim at the Assembly Hall on the Mound — an adaptation of Sir David Lyndsay's The Thrie Estaites, the first performance of this play since 1552.
Until 1999, the Assembly Hall was rarely used except for meetings of the General Assembly and performances during the Edinburgh International Festival. The hall continues today, each August, to be used as a venue for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The hall is operated as a venue by the coincidentally named company Assembly, who are named after, but organisationally unconnected to, the Assembly Rooms, which they also run during the Fringe.

Costs, sedentary lifestyle and lack of choice are all barriers which must be overcome to get more people in Wales taking part in sport, according to a National Assembly committee.
The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee also heard evidence that encouragement to take part in sport needs to start at an early age but that a lot of people were put off early on because of their experience of physical education in schools.
As an example the Committee was told that girls were generally very keen to play sports like hockey and netball between ages 7-9 but tended to drop out around 10-11. Reasons for this included concerns about body image and lack of availability of preferred activities such as fitness work or dance.
Barriers to participation in the LGBT community included fears over homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Black and Minority Ethnic groups highlighted problems with discrimination, along with unsuitable equipment and environments for women of certain faiths.
Mae costau, bywyd eisteddog a diffyg dewis yn rhwystrau y mae'n rhaid eu goresgyn er mwyn cael mwy o bobl yng Nghymru yn cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon, yn ôl un o bwyllgorau'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol.
Clywodd y Pwyllgor Cymunedau, Cydraddoldeb a Llywodraeth Leol dystiolaeth hefyd fod rhaid annog pobl i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon yn gynnar yn eu bywydau, ond bod llawer o bobl yn diflasu yn ifanc oherwydd eu profiadau o addysg gorfforol yn yr ysgol.
Er enghraifft, clywodd y Pwyllgor fod merched yn gyffredinol yn awyddus iawn i chwarae chwaraeon fel hoci a phêl-rwyd rhwng 7 a 9 oed, ond eu bod yn tueddu i golli diddordeb oddeutu 10 i 11 oed. Ymysg y rhesymau am hyn y mae pryderon am ddelwedd y corff a phrinder y gweithgareddau a fyddai orau gan rai, megis gwaith ffitrwydd neu ddawns.
O ran y gymuned LGBT, mae’r rhwystrau yn cynnwys ofnau ynghylch homoffobia, biffobia a thrawsffobia. Tynnodd grwpiau Pobl Dduon a Lleiafrifoedd Ethnig sylw at broblemau o ran gwahaniaethu, a phroblemau gydag offer ac amgylcheddau anaddas i fenywod o rai crefyddau.

ASSEMBLY HOUSE THEATRE STREET
The undercroft is made of brick and consists of two bays with diagonal ribs with subsidiary ridge and cross ribs. The minor ribs are hollow chamfered. There are wall arches and wall piers and a very long pointed barrel vault to the north with a blocked low side-chamber on the east side with a blocked opening above. It is not normally open to the public but can be visited on Heritage Open Days on bookable tours (in early September). It is not in use but there are plans to restore it and open it more frequently in the future. It is well worth visiting.
I tacked the panel in place with the caulk and trimmed the metal to fit the perimeter with the tin snips. CAUTION: the edges are sharp once cut and bits tend to fly when trimming; safety glasses and care are recommended. Sand paper was used to deburr the sharp edges so no one cuts their shins open.

We arrived at this school at 8am after a 90 min drive to get there in time for the start of the day. As the bell went they all gathered in lines in the playground and stood for their school assembly.
These children all received shoeboxes a year ago but they still remembered it and were still treasuring and using the gifts which they received.
It was a very special moment for me to meet these children and to take part in their school assembly. They sent their thanks to all those who had sent shoeboxes back with me to the UK.
