Outline

1. WHY DO WE NEED GREEN FREIGHT INITIATIVES IN THE CLMVT? 2. HOW CAN WE SCALE-UP GREEN FREIGHT IN THE CLMVT?

Road Accidents 1.5 million deaths Outdoor Air Pollution 3 million deaths (~ 10-30% transport) Climate Change – Transport 15% Access/Connectivity High Congestion 2-4% GDP

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a major risk factor for global disease In 2015, “premature deaths by transport air pollution” - 20,000 people Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh have been ranked 28 and 35 among top cities with transport-related air-pollution deaths

Air Pollution Re duc tion is a Priority

“freight diesel emissions” ~ “cigarettes” 97% of Freight movement is powered by fossil fuels Die se l E mission Re duc tions is a “He a lth” Priority
