COP 22 Transport Day Marrakech Break-out Session: Making Freight Transport Fit for a Low-Carbon Future


13 November 2016
13:00 - 14:15 hrs. Es Saadi Gardens and Resort
Marrakesh
, Morocco

Achieving low-carbon freight transport systems is essential for the realization of a sustainable development path. Various measures could help improve the carbon footprint of freight transport and enhance its sustainability. However, effective implementation of such measures and optimization of their climate mitigation potential calls for concerted and coordinated action at all levels and requires promoting key enabling factors including finance and best practices from within and outside the freight transport sector.

Against this background, the session will consider:

  • Best practices in terms of green freight and low-carbon solutions that could be applied in the freight transport sector

  • The role of policy makers/regulators and industry players in enabling low-carbon freight transport

  • Potential tools and financing solutions that could support low-carbon freight transport projects and initiatives.

COP 22

The target audience includes Governments, industry, IGOs, NGOs, financing institutions, academia, civil society, and, generally parties involved or interested in freight transport and its sustainability.
