Cost of CO2nvenience: Revealing the Hidden Climate and Health Impacts of the Global Ecommerce-Driven Parcel Delivery Industry Through 2030

The report "Cost of CO₂nvenience" investigates the environmental and health impacts of the ecommerce-driven parcel delivery industry through 2030. The findings highlight that global parcel volumes could increase to 800 billion by 2030, leading to substantial CO₂ emissions equivalent to those from 44 coal plants annually. The health impacts include exacerbated asthma and respiratory symptoms, disproportionately affecting communities of color and low-income areas. The study criticizes the insufficient zero-emission commitments from major delivery companies, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive fleet electrification and greater corporate transparency.
