We are thrilled to announce that the Manifesto for intermodal, low-carbon, efficient and resilient freight transport and logistics 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. Read and sign on to the manifesto: https://lnkd.in/exn-XX3J #TransformingFreightTransport - what does it take? 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. SLOCAT Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport and Kuehne Foundation Climate Action, together with CONCITO, IDDRI, International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), Smart Freight Centre, UIC - International union of railways #UICrail 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! #freight #logistics #transport #UNSupplyChain

📌 There are significant gaps in the current approach to freight transport and logistics within #NDCs and Long-Term Strategies (#LTS). 💡 What should third-generation NDCs and new LTS include to scale up climate ambition and action on #freight #transport and #logistics? 1️⃣ A transport-related GHG mitigation target in addition to the common economy-wide emissions mitigation target. 2️⃣ Feature balanced, integrated and intermodal actions for freight transport across the Avoid-Shift-Improve framework. 3️⃣ Actions across all freight modes: road transport, urban freight, railways, inland waterways, domestic and international aviation and maritime transport, as well as necessary intermodal ports and terminal infrastructure. 4️⃣ Actions to enhance the adaptation to climate change and the resilience of freight transport infrastructure. 🔖 Read the analysis by SLOCAT produced in cooperation with Kuehne Climate Center and learn more➡️ https://shorturl.at/C1pLf

📌 #Freight transport and #logistics are not sufficiently addressed in the NDCs’ and LTS’ mitigation measures. 📑 Second-generation NDCs focus more on passenger than freight #transport (split of 5:1), a decline compared to the first generation of NDCs (4:1). Yet, it is not possible to attribute to either passenger or freight transport two thirds of the transport actions that are featured across #NDCs and #LTS. 🔖 Read the analysis by SLOCAT produced in cooperation with Kuehne Climate Center and learn more➡️ https://shorturl.at/C1pLf

💡 Non-GHG transport targets can support a shift towards sustainable, low-carbon #transport. 📌 Among the total of 120 non-GHG transport targets in the #NDCs, only 12 targets in 11 second-generation NDCs are associated with #freight transport and #logistics. Across LTS, there are nearly twice as many freight transport and logistics targets (18 out of a total of 105) than in second-generation NDCs. 🔖 Read the analysis by SLOCAT produced in cooperation with Kuehne Climate Center and learn more➡️ https://shorturl.at/C1pLf

📌 The analysis developed by SLOCAT and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) shows that less than 20% of #NDCs mention a #JustTransition in the #transport sector. Even when specific provisions for transport are included, the needs and roles of workers in rail, road, urban transport, aviation, and maritime are generally ignored. 💡 As countries develop the next generation of NDCs, it’s crucial to prioritise a just transition for transport workers in order to set the foundation for a sustainable, resilient and just path forward. 🔖 Check out the analysis on prioritising just transition for transport in Nationally Determined Contributions and learn more ➡️ https://shorturl.at/gmZyW

📌 A #JustTransition to equitable, healthy, green and resilient #transport and mobility systems are central to socio-economic prosperity for the people and the planet. Moreover, just transition secures the future and livelihoods of workers and their communities during the transition to a low-carbon economy, effectively limiting global temperature rises to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. 💡 What does it take to secure a just transition for transport workers? 🔖 Check out the analysis on prioritising just transition for transport in Nationally Determined Contributions by SLOCAT and International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) ➡️ https://shorturl.at/gmZyW
