Logistics accounts for around 9-10% of global CO2 emissions and will
be one of the hardest economic sectors to decarbonize. This is partly
because the demand for freight transport is expected to rise sharply
over the next few decades, but also because it relies very heavily on
fossil fuel. Decarbonizing Logistics outlines the nature and extent of
the challenge we face in trying to achieve deep reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions from logistical activities. It makes a
detailed assessment of the available options, including restructuring
supply chains, shifting freight to lower carbon transport modes and
transforming energy use in the logistics sector. The options are
examined from technological and managerial standpoints for all the
main freight transport modes. Based on an up-to-date review of almost
600 publications and containing new analytical frameworks and research
results, Decarbonizing Logistics is the first to provide a global,
multi-disciplinary perspective on the subject. It is written by one of
the foremost specialists in the field who has spent many years
researching the links between logistics and climate change and been an
adviser to governments, international organizations and companies on
the topic.
