As online shopping continues to expand, cities are facing increased pressure from higher volumes of deliveries, leading to congestion, pollution, and inefficiencies. The rapid growth of e-commerce has revolutionized how people shop, but it also raises critical questions about its environmental and social impact, especially in dense urban areas.
Sustainability in e-commerce delivery is a necessity. To meet both consumer demands and environmental goals, businesses, policymakers, and city planners must raise awareness, and provide information to engage consumers for more sustainable choices in home delivery.
This webinar will invite business practitioners to present their strategies and current practices for enabling sustainable delivery of e-commerce purchases. This webinar also invited two recently launched research and innovation projects on e-commerce, CodeZERO and GreenTurn to present their work, and seek cooperation opportunities with businesses, cities and other stakeholders.
1. Short presentation of vision & levers for sustainalbe e-commerce deliveries
2. Presentation on research on consumers’ choices in green delivery in London
3. The way forward: short introduction of the GreenTurn and CodeZERO projects
Please note that this event is for POLIS and ALICE members with special invitations to consortia members of selected projects.
