Living with a Green World for International Logistics

About the Seminar

International Logistics is undergoing a paradigm shift from a fossil-fuel-based system toward a decarbonized future. Since the UN Climate Convention of the early 1990s, increasingly stringent environmental regulations have reshaped industry dynamics, challenging companies to balance growth with sustainability.

This presentation evaluates the sector's performance using both economic and environmental metrics, comparing relative efficiencies across companies, industries, and countries. It examines the impacts of green regulations, draws key insights from the speaker's research, and offers policy implications to guide future strategies in the evolving global logistics landscape.
