Sustainable logistics: Moving efficiently, resiliently and in a climate-friendly way
Logistics is the backbone of the global economy; it connects producers, retailers and consumers. At the same time, it accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions, land use and noise, as well as social challenges along the supply chain. For young people, logistics is both a major source of employment and a sector with precarious working conditions, low wages and limited protection. Young people will also live longest with the environmental consequences of today’s unsustainable supply chains.
Sustainable logistics means delivering a transition to greener supply chains in a way that respects ecological limits, secures quality jobs for young workers and assumes social responsibility. It is therefore more than climate action, it is climate justice: it is about balancing the ecological impact and fair working conditions for everyone involved.
