Beyond addressing the immediate concerns of climate change and environmental degradation, the symposium aspires to deliberate on prioritizing effective resource utilization for all nations, ensuring adherence to global sustainability benchmarks. Furthermore, it seeks to contribute by presenting research findings and proposing solutions that can serve as a blueprint for achieving Green Deal objectives on a global scale. This symposium thus emerges as a crucial platform for the exchange of knowledge and the formulation of actionable recommendations in the pursuit of a greener, more sustainable, and equitable logistics landscape.
