To support the greening of cargo operations, the European Green Deal calls for a substantial part of the inland freight traffic to shift away from road towards cleaner modes such as rail, inland waterways and short-sea shipping. More specifically, the recently published Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy stipulates that rail freight traffic should increase by 50% by 2030 and double by 2050, whereas transport by inland waterways and short sea shipping should increase by 25% by 2030 and by 50% by 2050. Against this backdrop, the 8th Florence Intermodal Forum on the Greening of European Cargo Operations, co-organised by the Transport Area of the Florence School of Regulation and the Commission’s DG MOVE, will bring together policy makers, operators and manufacturers among others, for a discussion on the various measures to 1) boost the share of multimodal freight transport, and to 2) create a common European framework for the harmonised measurement of transport and logistics greenhouse gas emissions.
