Policy branding vs. reality: Can the IMO lead on climate?
with George Dikaios
Greenwashing or real climate action? This episode explores the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) social media and policy messaging on climate change. George Dikaios (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece) helps us understand if the IMO's online persona reflects concrete action and uncovers the potential gap between their "green" image and true environmental impact.
