C6 EcoLogistics: The next level for sustainable urban mobility?
The notion of sustainable urban mobility is incomplete without consideration for urban logistics. The traffic generated by the delivery goods to shops, factories, offices, hotels, etc. represents a large share of urban traffic volume. And with the increasing online shopping/ordering behavior of an individual the share of freight traffic is further increasing. Traffic congestion, Poor air quality, Noise pollution and intensity of road accidents are majot impacts caused by urban freight sector. While urban freight’s contribution to GHG emissions is growing, corresponding mitigation actions and capacities are low. This session will look into future trends and challenges – social, economic, technological, and institutional of urban freight sector, as well as provide examples from leading cities and industry on innovative ways to tackle such challenges (Decarbonizing urban freight transport sector). It will also introduce the current IKI funded project on EcoLogistics in Argentina, Colombia and India.
