methodology on green corridor
Answers
Answer:
The European Commission communication (2013) on green infrastructure (GI) sets the ground for a tool that aims to provide ecological, economic and social benefits through natural solutions, helping us to mobilise investments that sustain and enhance those benefits.
Stakeholder governance models and instruments for green corridor governance are going to be developed and tested in different regional development projects in order to safeguard a better alignment of transport policies at various administrative levels and a strengthening of the business perspective.
Answer:In a more globalised and connected world, trade between in countries is growing. Consequently transport work and the related emissions have been increasing significantly within the last decades. More priority is given to this issue by authorities and society whereby a shift away from road transport towards environmentally better modes can be perceived. Yet, there are challenges associated to calculating the emissions from dedicated transports. The Swedish Transport Administration provides a simple tool to companies to calculate and compare their emissions from different transport solutions, this tool was created in the context of the EU concept of Green Corridors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tool from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The empirical findings consist of interviews and cases from three companies with cargo flows across Europe. The results from the evaluation indicate that the tool is not used very commonly and that it might have a different target group from the one envisioned by the Transport Administration. Furthermore, areas of improvements for the tool are provided.
