T-1B1b-TE-9 - Shift from heavy truck to sea
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: .
Sea transport is a relatively efficient mode of transport, with lower emissions per unit of weight and distance. However, shipping is associated with other environmental hazards such as water, air and sound pollution.
Sustainability Category: Amber¶
This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
