Join SFC and Pledge at an exclusive roundtable event
In person – COP28, Dubai, UAE
Wednesday, 6th December 2023, 8:00am – 10:30am GST
Innovative solutions, technologies and methodologies to drive the decarbonisation of logistics
Hear from leading business and industry experts on how to accelerate the pace of decarbonisation.
With global logistics emissions set to increase 42% by 2050, stakeholders across the supply chain will need to play their part if the Paris treaty target is to be met. In a hard-to-abate industry, best practice sharing among the private sector will be key to ensuring that decarbonisation goals are met.
This roundtable, hosted during COP28 on Transport Day, will bring together private sector players such as carriers, logistics services providers and shippers to exchange ideas and trends that can help companies achieve their Net Zero targets.
Objectives
To provide an opportunity for logistics and supply chain professionals to meet and discuss their decarbonisation efforts and to encourage collaboration.
To highlight innovative solutions, technologies and methodologies that already exist, such as Smart Freight Centre’s GLEC Methodology to calculate logistics emissions and ISO Standard 14083.
To discuss common challenges and success stories of implementing solutions, technologies and methodologies into the logistics supply chain.
