As the global economy expands, imports and exports are one of the fastest growing sectors in emissions, creating a need for practical policy options aiming to reduce the greenhouse gas pollution of this economic sector. We are exploring the carbon implications of international freight by evaluating the consequences of a concerted carbon reduction strategy and assessing the potential if alternatives such as high-speed rail. Our research includes the creation of a global freight carbon emissions database and an evaluation of carbon mitigation options in this sector.
