- In response to a joint statement made by the US and Canada this week to develop a strategy to phase out the use of HFO in Arctic waters, the Clean Arctic Alliance has praised the nations for their commitment to reducing environmental impact of shipping.
- The Clean Arctic Alliance has applauded the commitment of President Obama and Prime Minister Trudeau to develop the proposal and protect the Arctic from future harm.
- The statement made by the US and Canada builds on previous statements made, warning the IMO of the detrimental consequences of an HFO spill in the Arctic.
