Freight transport and climate change: exposures and opportunities: industry partnership program

Climate change is emerging as a key challenge for freight transport. As climate change gathers momentum, the responses of government, the market, and the elements will all converge to fundamentally reshape the operating environment of Australian logistics. As a result of climate change, transport companies are simultaneously exposed to demand risk, compliance risk, regulatory risk, increasing cost structures, operational disruptions, reputational risk, and broader market risks. Fortunately, the means by which freight transport can manage these risks offers individual companies cost savings and operational efficiencies that will only grow in value as Australia embraces a carbon constrained future.
