'Transport and the law on transportation belongs to the core of international commercial law. Litigation is either subject to arbitration or to the few national courts that enjoy the reputation of being impartial. The field is built on old conventions and the rationality of bilateral contractual relations. This book shifts the perspective from international commercial law - the law of contracts - to sustainability and to the SDG - the Sustainable Development Goals. Everybody knows that it is time to act, but very little happens. This book shows the potential avenues that politics has to take. There is no alternative. The digital economy provides the potential to rethink the way in which transportation is organized and the law that needs to govern green transportation. There is more needed than a little bit of adjustment here and there. The traditional understanding of the law of transportation which sets aside the externalities of transportation has to be thoroughly overhauled.'--Hans-W Micklitz, European University Institute, Italy
