Sustainable freight transport measures

The SFT measures catalogue is a tool featuring a collection of more than 200 sustainable freight transport measures. It allows you to easily find the measures corresponding specifically to your needs by customizing your searches according to a set of criteria. Key filters include, for example, the mode of transport, timescale for implementation, investment cost, and emission savings potential. As applicable, additional information is provided by means of specific links to supporting documentation and references. Use the “Search measure” box for a full text search to narrow results or to find measures related to a specific key word.

For more information on how the measures can support a comprehensive sustainable freight transport strategy, see the implementation step of the UNCTAD SFT framework.
