Unlocking Green Logistics for Development
This report examines the opportunities to decouple growth in logistics activity from growth in GHG emissions, synthesizing existing evidence on potential GHG mitigation measures. It focuses on nonurban logistics. Urban logistics is covered in a companion report on decarbonizing urban transport. Chapters 2 to 5 cover the main types of interventions available to reduce GHG emission. Chapter 2 examines how spatial planning and land use can affect logistics GHG emission and economy-widepricing measures provide economic incentives for decarbonization. Chapter 3 discusses the potential for a modal shift to lower emissions transport modes. Chapter 4 addresses opportunities for improving energy intensity through technical efficiency and capacity utilization. Chapter 5 explores the potential of alternative fuels for freight transport and energy sources for warehousing. Chapter 6 brings together the various policy interventions and suggests how LMICs can analyze and prioritize interventions as part of their overall national logistics planning. An efficient logistics system is greener than an inefficient one, so many of the “quick win” interventions to reduce GHG emissions will also improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of a country’s logistics. The best mix of measures will be different for each country and can be integrated into each country’s development of a Green Logistics Plan.

description |
This report examines the
opportunities to decouple growth in logistics activity from
growth in GHG emissions, synthesizing existing evidence on
potential GHG mitigation measures. It focuses on nonurban
logistics. Urban logistics is covered in a companion report
on decarbonizing urban transport. Chapters 2 to 5 cover the
main types of interventions available to reduce GHG
emission. Chapter 2 examines how spatial planning and land
use can affect logistics GHG emission and
economy-widepricing measures provide economic incentives for
decarbonization. Chapter 3 discusses the potential for a
modal shift to lower emissions transport modes. Chapter 4
addresses opportunities for improving energy intensity
through technical efficiency and capacity utilization.
Chapter 5 explores the potential of alternative fuels for
freight transport and energy sources for warehousing.
Chapter 6 brings together the various policy interventions
and suggests how LMICs can analyze and prioritize
interventions as part of their overall national logistics
planning. An efficient logistics system is greener than an
inefficient one, so many of the “quick win” interventions to
reduce GHG emissions will also improve the efficiency and
reduce the cost of a country’s logistics. The best mix of
measures will be different for each country and can be
integrated into each country’s development of a Green
Logistics Plan. |
