Green Freight in Europe and Asia
Description
The US SmartWay Transport Partnership has been in place since 2004 and is used as an example for green freight programs elsewhere. We will work together with government agencies, the private sector, research institutes and civil society to develop national and regional green freight programs by1. Defining clear objectives, scope, plan of action and timelines to introduce green freight programs2. Obtaining government endorsement and aligning programs with governmental policies3. Developing a consensus based, multi‐stakeholder approach with defined roles and benefits for relevant stakeholders4. Establishing/ maintaining a clear governance structure and working mechanism, convened by a neutral body5. Creating and sharing success stories, best practices and knowledge6. Developing/adopting consistent tools and methodologies for carbon measurement and reporting while ensuring data confidentiality7. Developing financial mechanisms and resources which support carriers to invest in cleaner technologies and strategies8. Developing schemes that reward sustainable transportation and the adoption of Green technologies
