To support transport policymaking that is evidence-based and sustainable, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Bank have developed a Global Transport Costs Dataset for International Trade. This new dataset, launched on 10 December 2020 in collaboration with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Technical Cooperation Committee, aims to facilitate informed and sound decision-making processes in sustainable transport. The new estimates of international transport costs are expected to contribute to closing the persistent data gap faced by policymakers, researchers and other transport industry stakeholders.
