About this Event
New York City, the largest consumer market in the U.S. relies heavily on trucks to move nearly 90% of its freight. This dependence contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and economic costs due to congestion. With freight volumes projected to grow by 68% by 2045 and a substantial portion of the population living near warehouses, decarbonizing freight transportation has become crucial for both the environment and public health.
Unlike initiatives in passenger transportation, freight decarbonization faces unique challenges in achieving significant emissions reduction. This panel discussion brings together experts from both the private and public sectors to tackle this multifaceted challenge:
- 1. How can we transform fragmented efforts to decarbonize freight into a cohesive strategy?
- 2. What role should the private sector play in decarbonizing freight?
- 3. How can the public sector support and incentivize these efforts whilst ensuring a level playing field for all businesses?
- 4. How do we balance our urgent environmental goals with the realities of business operations?
Join us as we explore innovative solutions and collaborative approaches to create a more sustainable future for freight transportation in New York City.
