Transforming Freight Transport and Logistics
SLOCAT and the Kühne Foundation have joined forces to enhance knowledge, advocacy, and dialogue about freight transport and logistics in the global transport community, and in climate and sustainability processes. The overall strategic objective is to enhance the understanding and the profile of systemic transformations in freight transport and logistics across the global transport community and at relevant intergovernmental climate and sustainability processes.
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.

Manifesto for intermodal, low-carbon, efficient and resilient freight transport and logistics
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.

Recognising the essential role of freight transport in sustainable trade and development, this paper aims to shed light on the data, knowledge, policy and finance needs to further strengthen freight systems that efficiently combine different low carbon modes, share capacities and rely on sustainable first and last mile delivery.

The analysis highlights a critical gap in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS) submitted under the Paris Agreement framework: the lack of specific targets and measures for freight transport. There is also a missing balanced approach to sustainable, low-carbon freight transport and logistics within the Avoid-Shift-Improve framework. It showcases best practices from existing climate strategies and offers recommendations for enhancing sustainable, low-carbon freight transport and logistics in the next round of NDCs and LTS submissions.
