Abstract:
The logistics sector plays a pivotal role in global commerce but is also a significant contributor to carbon emissions, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions. This paper explores the challenges in transportation logistics, including inefficiencies in coordination, dependency on fossil fuels, and unsustainable practices, and proposes innovative frameworks to address these issues. Leveraging technologies such as IoT, AI, and blockchain, alongside multi-modal transportation and route optimization, offers a pathway to reducing emissions while enhancing operational efficiency. The paper also examines sustainable logistics's environmental, economic, and social benefits, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder collaboration for successful implementation. Practical recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders are provided, focusing on infrastructure development, financial incentives, workforce training, and regulatory alignment. By adopting these frameworks, the logistics sector can become a leader in sustainability, driving economic growth and reducing its environmental impact.
