Climate Change

Responsibility of Transport and Logistics

The transport and logistics sector contributes around 24% to global CO2e emissions. Together we fight against climate change and for less greenhouse gas emissions. Climate-neutral logistics is our future.

A greenhouse gas (or GHG) is any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and releases heat, thereby keeping the planet's atmosphere warmer than it would otherwise be. The most important pollutants Greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone.

By 2050, the European Environment Agency expects that global logistics will cause 40% of global carbon emissions without effective and effective measures.

Fight against Climate Warming

Global climate protection measures necessary

In the 2015 Paris Agreement, policymakers set out a global framework for the world to respond to dangerous climate change. To this end, global warming should be kept well below 2°C and further efforts should be made to limit the temperature rise of 1.5°C. In addition, the ability of countries to adapt to the consequences of climate change should be strengthened and they should be supported in their efforts ( ec.europa.eu ; 2020).

The EU and its Member States are among the almost 190 parties to the Paris Agreement. The EU formally ratified the convention on October 5, 2016. It was therefore able to come into force on November 4, 2016. At least 55 countries responsible for at least 55% of global emissions had to deposit their instruments of ratification.

As a contribution to the goals of the agreement, countries have submitted comprehensive national action plans to reduce their emissions. Although these are not yet sufficient to achieve the set temperature targets, the agreement points the way to further measures.
