Organisers: IDDRI, UIC, SLOCAT, KCC, UNDESA, CCT
This event is a call to the ITF community through 3 recommendations for action:
Launch an "Avoid & Shift" Freight Co-operation Platform : Systematically connect the four organisational transformations (a-d) with the four co-operation levers (i-iv) with clear targets. This platform will serve as the clearinghouse for best practices, technical support, and joint policy development, moving beyond technology-centric dialogues.
Convene a Multi-Stakeholder Coalition : Mobilise a group of nations, industry players, startups, and civil society, co-creating pilot projects, investment and capacity building roadmaps, as well as policy blueprints demonstrating the viability and economic benefits of "A&S".
Integrate "Avoid & Shift" into National Climate, Transport & other sectoral Strategies: Advocate for a needs-based approach supporting national policymakers in integrating these strategies into NDCs, Long-Term Strategies, and industrial development plans, leading to quantifiable implementation pathways with international support.
