| | | | Dear Sir or Madam,
| |
| |
| | 
The facts about climate change have been on the table for quite some time now, and not just since the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) came out. The pressure being put on politicians, business, and society to take action is increasing, and the logistics sector in particular must make a significant contribution.
But how can climate protection targets be transformed into sustainable products, services, and supply chains? After spending ten years at ETH Zurich, as of September I have been researching and teaching on corporate sustainability at the KLU Center for Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chains (CSLS). Do you have any questions about this? Reach out to me and join us on campus on November 18 when, after the COP26, we discuss climate-neutral logistics with international experts.
In March 2022, we will be launching our part-time certificate program Sustainable Management and Operations (SuMO). The SuMO program offers all those involved in the sustainable transformation of their company practical knowledge for this undertaking. We are now accepting applications, so find out more here.
Other topics in this edition include: the new KLU Research Center for Humanitarian Logistics (CHORD), an innovative ranking for economics, and urban mobility as the event series Future Lab Mobility Forum is shipping out while the ITS World Congress is moving in – with KLU participation.
Wishing you a healthy fall,
Prof. Dr. Johannes Meuer
Associate Professor for Sustainable Operations,
Co-Director Center for Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chains (CSLS)
Guest Editor
PS: How are Amsterdam, Vienna, and Paris shaping urban mobility of tomorrow? Discuss with us this Thursday at the Future Lab Mobility Forum – and i.e. learn from our guest from Vienna, which small but significant change is needed there. Join us as a guest, too - either online or on campus.
