We are thrilled to support the Manifesto for intermodal, low-carbon, efficient and resilient freight transport and logistics which was launched today at the first United Nations Global Supply Chain Forum organised by United Nations Trade and Development and the Government of Barbados from 21 – 24 May 2024.
What is #TransformingFreightTransport?
Governments and businesses need to prioritise systems that efficiently and resiliently combine low-carbon services from the first to the last mile, be that local or intercontinental. Urgent actions are needed to transition to zero emission fuels and renewable energy, optimising logistics systems and creating local and circular value chains.
Why do we need this transformation? In a world of interconnected challenges, our economies and societies must transform to remain competitive, equitable and resilient, while keeping global warming to 1.5ºC. Accelerating the transformation of freight transport and logistics is among the most impactful steps the global community can take to enable overall positive socio-economic transformations by mid-century.
Visit the manifesto website and learn about the critical enablers to enable this transformation!
SLOCAT and Kühne Foundation, together with CONCITO, IDDRI, International Transport Workers’ Federation, Smart Freight Centre, UIC International Union of Railways and World Resources Institute have co-initiated this manifesto. So far, we have already gathered support from 30+ multi-stakeholder organisations. Join us and be part of the change!
