Ipieca support for UN conventions - July - September

One of Ipieca’s core roles is to support UN conventions and agreements. We provide technical inputs to these when requested, raise awareness and support as well as develop good practice guidance which enables the oil, gas and alternative energy industry to contribute to them.

Adaptation and resilience workshop series reports

Approaches to estimating financial impacts of climate change workshop report

Voluntary and regulatory adaptation disclosure requirements and developing good practices workshop report

UN convention the reports align with:

The Paris Agreement has established a global goal to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience, and reduce vulnerability to climate change.

Source contol emergency response planning guide for subsea wells

This report has been developed to guide operating companies in the planning and preparation of an effective subsea source control emergency response plan. The scope covers basic emergency response organisational format, roles and responsibilities, well design considerations, source control response options, and recommendations to consider for implementation.

UN convention it aligns with:

The IMO’s International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes.

Ipieca raises awareness of UN days among its members and through its external channels, sharing good practice guidance which aligns with the themes of these days. This quarter we promoted:

• International Maritime Day, highlighting guidance to support the IMO’s work on decarbonising the shipping industry
• International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies whose objectives we support through our contribution to the UNEP-Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles; and through our technical inputs to the International Civil Aviation Organization’s work to scale up sustainable aviation fuels
• International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, with Ipieca guidance on Indigenous Peoples and community engagement

A condition of membership, the Ipieca Principles are grouped under the four themes of Ipieca's 2025-2028 Strategy. Each theme includes two principles: the first drives support for a UN convention or initiative, the second advances the environmental and social performance of member companies' operations.
