Drawing a sustainable flight – air cargo week
With the increase in global trade, the lists of momentum and climate are touched, the logistical sector is moving in a pivotal moment – as it acts by pressing the carbon with the need to keep the goods move quickly and efficiently across the air, sea and land.
For India – where the government aims to three sizes of air cargo by 2030 while reducing logistical costs as a share of gross domestic product – the message is clear: sustainability must be combined into the heart of shipping systems, and it is not treated as a late idea.
It is based on politics and practice
The national logistical policy in India, which was presented in 2022, is already directed by the country towards more costly and sustainable logistics. Objective: Reducing the costs of logistical services from about 14 percent of GDP to less than 8 percent, and enabling multimedia transport corridors. This urgency is amplified due to expectations from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, which expects three times the air cargo – 3.4 million tons at the same time – at the end of the contract.
But the environmental footprint in Airfreight is still not commensurate. Although it moves less than 1 percent of global trade by size, it represents 2-2.5 percent of carbon emissions. The need for change is immediate and systematic.
“There is no silver bullet for green logistical services,” Vikram Kumar, ACAI Minister and a director of CTC Air Carriers PVT. Limited, he said. “It is a complex tool collection – from the design of packages and conditional transformation to energy audit and digital papers.”
Industry solutions
UPS, a global logistical force with an increasing imprint in South Asia, offered the road map towards carbon neutrality by 2050. Dinkar Singh, Director of Public Affairs at UPS-alphabetical Indian subcontinent, steps already shown, including non-paper trade and solar powered facilities, EV, and improving the road through the Orion platform.
“The concept of green logistics should expand from speech to delivery,” Singh said. “It begins to predict the last tendency, improve the transformation of the fleet, and to involve customers on the conscious packaging of carbon.”
Singh also highlighted a growing challenge but suffers from its modification: reverse logistical services. He warned, “The returns of e -commerce silently affect our carbon fingerprint.” “The lack of effective returns systems leads to abandoning shipping, especially in border trade.”
Green empowerment
Technology has played a major role in seeing the summit for a cleaner logistics future. From the actual time tracking and digital shipping bills to the predictive logistical services operating in Amnesty International, Al -Banielli’s players agreed that digital tools are necessary for each of the reducing emissions and organizational compliance.
“Every gram of paper removed from the documents is a decrease in energy use,” Singh explained. “Every automatic field is a step towards transparency and compliance.”
UPS works with partners to implement the Blockchain vision that you support in pharmaceutical logistics-a segment in which accuracy and tracking are very important. On the facade of politics, the unified logistical interface system in India (ULIP) and the national national window system set the digital basis for media efficiency.
Organization and ability
However, green logistics is not just a technical challenge – it is also an organizational challenge. DeBak Bendor, project manager at GIZ India, stressed the importance of coordinating regulations through transportation. He said: “Our governance systems are still held.” “In order to move green to work, emissions and efficiency must be uniformly governed by modes.”
He referred to the law to protect the new digital data in India as a possible lever to improve the accountability of digital carbon tracking and urged more cooperation between the academic circles and policy makers. “We must add the institutional character to the sand box environments for green innovation. The government cannot legislate change in isolation.”
