Zero Emissions by 2030: Delivering Change
In a groundbreaking 2022 report jointly published by the Clean Mobility Collective and Stand.earth, a startling truth came to light: up to 50% of total carbon emissions from deliveries occur in the "last mile." This crucial stage of the delivery process, often overlooked until now, poses a significant environmental challenge. Last-mile delivery represents the final leg of shipping, bridging the gap between warehouses and people's doorsteps. It's a distance that's not always just a mile, and it's a significant contributor to the carbon emissions conundrum. Delivery vans, making millions of short trips daily, continue to proliferate, pushing us further away from a zero-emissions future.
Race Against Time:
We acknowledge that the clock is ticking, and time is running out to reshape our future. Corporations bear a monumental responsibility to address this urgent challenge. The call to action is clear: they must commit to achieving 100% zero emissions by 2030. This commitment extends especially to giants like Amazon, which wield considerable influence over last-mile delivery practices. It's time for these companies to acknowledge the adverse impacts of last-mile delivery and take concrete steps to #DeliverChange rather than further emissions.
Charge the Streets: A Path to Transformation:
In partnership with the Clean Mobility Collective, Stand4arth has launched "Charge the Streets." This transformative initiative aims to exert pressure on decision-makers and advocate for more ambitious timelines to eliminate carbon emissions from last-mile delivery. We recognize that meaningful change necessitates collaborative efforts, and Charge the Streets brings together passionate advocates and informed voices to catalyze progress.
