ICAO, the U.N.agency for flights, is regulatory captured by the airlines, manufacturers and fuel providers, wrt the huge environmental impact of aviation. It wouldn't surprise me if the same were true for IMO.
Meaning, changes in the market/technology have got the industry 95% of the way to the target, and they have added the target and will do the last 5% for the PR and to keep the rest of the UN environmental stuff (including the next COP meetings) off their backs.
