摘要

Climate crisis directly affects key aspects in the field of Transport, Shipping, and Logistics (TSL). Weather-related disruptions to transportation networks, rising sea levels impacting shipping routes and ports, and the growing demand for eco-friendly logistics solutions in response to environmental concerns are some challenges that must be addressed. The objective of this paper is to provide educational stakeholders with a reference point for creating innovative, student-centered programs that integrate the latest technological developments while instilling a commitment to climate change mitigation. In this direction, after identifying and assessing successful teaching approaches that align with the evolving demands of TSL education, a thorough analysis of existing academic programs was conducted. Specifically, a systematic approach, considering several criteria, to select the programs was employed. Primary factors that were taken under consideration, included alignment with research goals, explicit commitment to technological advancements and sustainability in TSL, preference for accredited institutions with a strong reputation and curricula that ensure coverage of relevant topics in technology and climate change mitigation within TSL. The analysis highlighted the need for more advanced teaching methods in climate change education, particularly in transportation and logistics. Existing courses could better leverage technology for practical problem-solving. Moreover, there's a lack of comprehensive programs addressing decarbonization and climate resilience in transport. This underscores the opportunity for specialized educational programs to bridge this gap, addressing technical, management, and policy aspects of climate change in the field of TSL. The analysis concludes with a proposed methodological approach for curriculum design.
