Sustainable Logistics Community of Practice
The Transportation Working Group (TWG), in partnership with the LEDS GP Regional Platforms, is building a resilient, low-emission transportation community globally, supporting champions and innovators, linking networks of low-emission transportation experts, and exploring opportunities for collaboration at the local and regional levels.
Join this Community of Practice
We invite all interested parties to join by completing the following through this survey
Presentation
The region is showing interest in moving towards the decarbonization of urban and interurban transportation logistics, whose emissions are steadily increasing due to higher demand for consumer goods. There are some valuable experiences, such as those of Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina. That is why in 2019, the Transport Working Group (TWG), together with LEDS GP and LEDS LAC, launched the second Community of Practice on Sustainable Logistics.
Target
To encourage peer-to-peer learning in the region based on existing experiences in clean logistics, the establishment of a community of practice was proposed, especially for those that have made progress or have a pilot program in place. Some countries in the region are promoting energy efficiency and low carbon freight programs at the national level, such as Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, among others.
The CoP is designed with a bottom-up approach to address the main barriers to the transition to clean logistics in LAC and to offer support to early movers and champions.
The CoP is an ongoing collaborative space to enable peer-to-peer learning, a deeper understanding of the options available to overcome barriers to decarbonizing logistics, continued access to tools and expert assistance, and to foster leaders to serve as coaches for other countries in the region.
Seeks to change the paradigm in logistics and improve performance by reducing emissions.
