Global Green Freight Action Plan

Trade in goods and materials drives global economic growth and development, linking nations and markets through an increasingly interdependent supply chain. The Global Green Freight Project was initiated by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition as part of a large-scale effort to reduce the climate and health impacts and improve the energy and economic efficiency of transporting those goods and materials.

The Global Green Freight Action Plan (GGFAP) aims to enhance the environmental and energy efficiency of goods movement in ways that significantly reduce the climate, health, energy, and cost impacts of freight transport around the world. The three main objectives are: 1) To align and enhance existing green freight efforts, 2) To develop and support new green freight programs globally, and 3) To incorporate black carbon reductions into green freight programs.

GGFAP commits to dramatically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, black carbon and air pollutants in the freight sector by 2025 through a greener and more energy efficient multimodal global supply chain.
