Report Launch: "Creating sustainable cities through low carbon freight – EcoLogistics in India and Argentina"

Background
Freight transport and emissions are increasing rapidly and, until now, cities were not equipped to handle the associated challenges. Only about 21 percent of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) highlighting transport refers to freight transport, however, general understanding and awareness on sustainable freight have grown exponentially in recent years.

As governments set ambitious targets to decarbonize transport, it is critical that they use data to evaluate and make science-based decisions. Through the EcoLogistics project, nine cities – Rosario, Santa Fe, Córdoba (Argentina), Capital District of Bogotá, Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley (AMVA), Manizales (Colombia), and Kochi, Shimla, Panaji (India) – have used the ICLEI EcoLogistics Self-monitoring Tool to compile and evaluate the data on the urban freight activities taking place in their jurisdictions. The data compiled forms a baseline for these cities to take informed, effective action to curb freight emissions – contributing to a sustainable low-carbon future. These cities are some of the first to compile this body of data on urban freight activities.
 

Objective
This session will kick off with the launch of the report: “Creating liveable cities through low-carbon freight: EcoLogistics in Argentina, Colombia and India” (EcoLogistics Report 2021)”. Key findings of the report will be presented with high-level speakers and a brief Q&A.
