EcoLogistics: Low Carbon Freight for Sustainable Cities

Completed     Global
01 Nov 2017 to 31 Dec 2022

Description

Urban transport of goods and commodities is a significant source of greenhouse gases in Argentina, Colombia, and India. However, many cities do not adequately address this issue in their mitigation measures. The project supported environmentally friendly rules and practices that directly contribute to mitigating the impacts of climate change and achieving ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the partner countries. It increased awareness of the issue among local and national governments, developed action plans, and served as an example for other cities. The project also enhanced institutional resources and competencies by involving all interest groups, providing national policy recommendations, and developing a self-monitoring instrument for the movement of goods and commodities. Demonstration projects from the project cities and collections of successful practical examples aim to motivate national governments and extend the project's experience on a larger scale.
