The Problem: The Last Mile Threat to Climate Progress

Near-term emissions reductions are critical to meeting the urgent challenge of the climate crisis. In the coming decades, fossil fuel transportation is expected to be the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

Global e-commerce companies like Amazon pose a significant challenge to emissions reduction efforts. In 2022, the Clean Mobility Collective and Stand.earth’s e-commerce report revealed that up to half of total delivery carbon emissions are produced in the last mile – the final stage in a parcel’s journey from distribution depot to doorstep.

Companies are at a crossroads. Leaders in last mile transition are showing that zero emissions by 2030 is the right business decision, while laggards like Amazon are dismissing the climate crisis as a cost of doing business. Our campaign aims to Deliver Change by encouraging – or compelling – the laggards to Deliver Change.

The Network

We are building an international movement of activist groups, NGOs, and technical partners to support communities who are leading on locally relevant solutions and to scale up our impact through collaboration.
