Globalization 2.0: Rethinking Global Trade in Light of Sustainability Imperatives

If we were to consider the negative externalities of international transport, it is doubtful that the flows of goods would remain the same as the current ones, re-shoring could perhaps not be decisive but help this probability. However, globalization confronts us with the advantages but also with the disadvantages that now follow at various levels. Environmental sustainability can represent a challenge to globalization, or an ally capable of involving global society which, through appropriate policies, achieves the ability to incorporate the costs of environmental protection and respect, for example, for human rights without substantial consequences for global production chains, and therefore for global transport. How can we effectively reduce the environmental and social costs associated with globalization without damaging our competitiveness and in the light of the recent war conflict still in progress and whose end it is not possible to predict?
