Abstract

Green transportation logistics is an area that combines the following: (a) it is relatively new in terms of research carried out thus far, (b) it has become increasingly important for both industry and society, and (c) it is rich in topics for further research, both basic and applied. In this final chapter of this book we discuss directions for further research in this area. We do so by taking stock of (1) related recommendations of project SuperGreen, and (2) related activities mainly in European research. Links between research and policy-making as two activities that should go hand in hand are also discussed.

    An example, which is not the only one, is the implementation of ICZM—Integrated Coastal Zone Management, a ‘land focused’ policy Recommendation of 2000 from DG-Environment, vis-a-vis the implementation of the ‘sea focused’ MSP—Maritime Spatial Planning of 2007 from DG-MARE. These are contradictory due to their difference in perspective (land vs. sea), and number of years in difference.
