Logistics
How we move ‘stuff’ around the world has never been more complex, nor more urgent to rethink. Freight and logistics cause 7% of global carbon emissions and jam up our transport networks. There are solutions in big data, IOT, AI, drones and electric vehicles. But in our drive for efficiency, let’s not forget effectiveness. Can we have effective supply chains that are compatible with carless cities? And can we decrease the need for so much transport in the first place? These are some questions we grappled with at Logistics Day 2020 in Antwerp, where I gave a presentation.
