Abstract
In 2020, the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) in Ireland undertook research that analysed climate change implications for the transport industry. In so doing, raising the awareness and readiness of CILT members and wider stakeholders.
The first study in this CILT Ireland climate change series focused on policy review. The findings suggested that the Government in recent years has increased efforts towards the low-carbon transition in policy development for the transport sector, and the potential for improving sustainable mobility. In regard to passenger transport, measures have been put forward to promote active travel and public transport, particularly in urban areas. In contrast, freight transport is less reflected in terms of measures and support schemes for the low-carbon transition. The study identified and assessed a number of international sustainable transport measures that could potentially be adopted in Ireland. It gathered this data through a panel of 21 transport experts from both public and private sectors in Ireland.
By conducting this study, we hope to raise the awareness towards the low-carbon transition and disseminate research findings amongst CILT members and the wider public audience, stakeholders, and the government.
