3. Paris Agreement
a long-term goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels;
to aim to limit the increase to 1.5°C, since this would significantly reduce risks and the impacts of climate change; 3

4. Official EU targets Key EU targets for 2020
20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1990
20% of total energy consumption from renewable energy
20% increase in energy efficiency
Key EU targets for 2030
At least 40% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1990
At least 27% of total energy consumption from renewable energy
At least 27% increase in energy efficiency
Long-term goal
By 2050, the EU aims to cut its emissions substantially – by 80-95% compared to 1990 levels as part of the efforts required by developed countries as a group.
Turning Europe into a highly energy efficient and low-carbon economy will also boost the economy, create jobs and strengthen Europe's competitiveness. 4

5. Overall climate goal EU: -80% (to 95%) in 2050 relative to 1990
Transport sector is only sector with growing GHG emissions. Further volume growth up to 50% until 2050.

6. Reduction goal Paris: Freight transport
CO2-emissions freight transport in EU
CO2 historical trend
CO2 reference trend assuming equal “CO2 productivity” relative to 2015
CO2 goal (60% reduction relative to 1990 in 2050)
2030: 20% reduction relative to 2008
2050: 60% reduction relative to 1990
Note: Reduction goals freight transport assumed equal to overall reduction goal for transport sector in EU Whitepaper (2011)
Freight volume growth : 250%
Reduction of absolute emissions: 60%
Per ton-kilometre transported: FACTOR 6!

8. Our understanding of carbon footprinting
LEARN Kick-off Meeting
Our understanding of carbon footprinting
method to generate data on GHG emissions from transport services;
comparability of GHG performance of different transport operations;
link between reducing GHG emissions and improving cost efficiency;
criterion in the transport decisions;
better choices and easier marketing of cleaner transport solutions;
motivation to introduce emission-reducing measures;
great potential for the improvement of the efficiency of transport operations;
reducing emissions, combating the climate change;
win-win situation for the businesses and the society.

10. EC targets for LEARN project
LEARN Kick-off Meeting
EC targets for LEARN project
support the development of the EU CF policy;
reach broad consensus on the harmonised CF framework;
create a coordinated network of key stakeholders (EU and international) involved in the CF harmonisation process;
build upon the past and on-going initiatives and projects;
avoid the creation of additional layer in the CF harmonisation process;
avoid too narrow approaches: deliver results to be replicable/used in the entire EU transport sector;
explore conditions for introduction of an EU eco-label scheme.

13. Goals of LEARN trials
Test GLEC Framework based GHG computations and footprinting in complex Supply Chain settings with the aim of getting emission data resulting from door-to-door movement of goods
Help companies set up or enhance their current carbon footprinting capabilities
Conduct test in different settings:
Shippers
LSP / 4PL / Control Tower
Physical Transport Service Provider and Facility Operators

14. Test Benefits and expectations
What benefits can companies expect?
Support on logistics carbon accounting and reporting
Introduce newcomers to logistics carbon accounting and learn from other companies
Help prepare for logistics carbon reporting to customers
Help solve specific issues companies face in carbon accounting
Explore the use of generated data to improve reporting and decision-making
Identify opportunities for emission reductions
Recognition of companies in their carbon accounting efforts in the LEARN project
Influence on future carbon accounting standards and related policies
What are we asking companies to do?
Collaborate with existing business partners for a selected logistics supply chain to calculate the carbon footprint, based on the GLEC Framework, with support from LEARN partners
Allocate resources and make data available – companies retain full ownership of their data
Provide feedback on gaps, challenges and opportunities in applying the methodology
Help articulate the business case for logistics carbon accounting
Make main results available for a published case study
Give suggestions on how carbon accounting can be reflected in a label to recognize company efforts 14

16. Test Goals: Physical Transporter / Facility
Scope: physical transport or facility operations of the company (GHG protocol Scope 1)
Aim: get kg of CO2(e) emissions per shipment and / or normalized unit of work related to a shipment
Attention: Scope 3 upstream reporting capability, emission data reporting
