Achieving low carbon freight transport through green corridor development in Asia and the Pacific
UNESCAP
2025.01.24
The policy brief Achieving Low Carbon Freight Transport through Green Corridor Development in Asia and the Pacific was developed following the Regional Cooperation Mechanism on Low Carbon Transport: Creation of Green Transport Corridors in Asia and the Pacific regional meeting (https://www.unescap.org/events/2024/regional-cooperation-mechanism-low-carbon-transport-creation-green-transport-corridors). The development and implementation of green freight transport policies have been identified as an important strategy for decarbonizing the transport sector. However, this is a difficult challenge for the region due to the lack of regulations and fragmentation of stakeholders in many countries. Transport corridors that are green, integrated, and efficient will also need to take into account the multimodal nature of supply chains, including land and maritime transport. Decarbonizing freight transport will require a multi-faceted approach, including developing green multimodal corridors, adopting cleaner technologies, and promoting green freight practices. This policy brief aims to contribute to this effort by exploring the strategic pathways for establishing green multimodal corridors in the Asia-Pacific. It will examine the region‘s current state of freight transport, identify opportunities for decarbonization, and propose concrete strategies for achieving a sustainable and resilient freight transport system.
