EcoLogistics Self-monitoring tool

EcoLogistics Self-monitoring tool is developed through the “EcoLogistics: Low carbon freight for sustainable cities” project.
It is a calculation tool developed for cities to estimate their greenhouse gas emissions from urban freight transport. It allows the assessment of baseline and target scenarios wherein specific technologies or strategies are hypothetically implemented. The tool also acts as a monitoring tool for cities to make meaningful comparisons over time and with other cities in terms of urban freight emissions.

Benefits for cities to use the tool
- Estimate city-wide GHG emissions from urban freight transport and understand the emission contributions of different logistics activities
- Use collected data to establish a baseline and set targets in line with cities’ climate change goals
- Use emissions and carbon intensity as performance indicators in target-setting and track progress over time
- Assess the potential emission savings of various scenarios and help city leaders to make informed decisions and actions that lead to emission reductions
- Make meaningful comparisons with other cities in terms of urban freight emissions and share experiences
- Access and contribute to knowledge and good practice examples
- Become a source of inspiration to other cities
