Abstract
Ukraine and the world face the task of creating an effective system of green logistics that will help reduce the negative impact on the environment and support sustainable development. This task requires innovative solutions. The article addresses the development, challenges, and prospects of green logistics, emphasizing the integration of eco-friendly practices to reduce environmental impact in logistics and transportation. It underscores the urgency for green logistics due to the significant greenhouse gas emissions from traditional logistics processes, driven by increased freight transport and the reliance on fossil fuels. Key challenges discussed include high implementation costs, limited infrastructure, and market readiness, highlighting the need for government incentives and technological advancements. The author also explores various solutions, such as emissions reduction, optimizing transport routes, energy conservation, and promoting sustainable logistics methods, like eco-friendly transportation and alternative fuels. The article notes examples of initiatives, like electric and autonomous transport, to curb pollution in logistics. In addition to the global and national objectives, the article underscores the critical role of collaboration among companies, government, and society to overcome barriers in implementing green logistics. Moreover, the article highlights the need for regulatory frameworks that support eco-innovation. The article also stresses the importance of incorporating renewable energy sources in logistics systems to achieve carbon neutrality, including the development of solar and wind-powered warehouses and distribution centers. It suggests adopting circular economy principles by reusing packaging materials and minimizing waste. Another focus is on raising awareness among stakeholders and training personnel in sustainable logistics practices to ensure long-term success. The recommendations provided aim to create a roadmap for transitioning to green logistics and achieving environmental and economic sustainability.
