Join the upcoming Policy Learning Platform webinar on reducing the emissions of urban logistics, set to take place on Thursday 19 September at 14:00 CEST.

With an ever-increasing number of deliveries to households and businesses, arising from an increase in online commerce, cities are struggling with increased emissions and congestion from a rising number of delivery vehicles.

Urban Consolidation Centres and low-carbon last-mile delivery schemes can help cities overcome this, but these approaches require new uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), new infrastructure investments, and models of collaboration between private and public sectors.

This webinar will explore several successful case studies arising from Interreg Europe projects, focusing mainly on SPOTLOG and ZCI. SPOTLOG have a dedicated focus on this issue and has already provided a number of good practices, while ZCI has arranged a masterclass on urban logistics. 

What you can expect

• Keynote speech on Reducing emissions in logistics & providing last-mile deliveries by Jorge Bandeira, University of Aveiro, Portugal, and lead partner for SPOTLOG project

• Presentation on the partnership between Lille and La Poste by Julien Bouvet, Lille Municipality (SPOTLOG project)
