Abstract
The high-quality development of the logistics industry plays an important role in high-quality economic development. Green logistics is attracting more attention, owing to environmental concern. Based on the five concepts of “innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing” of high-quality economic development, the input–output indicators of green logistics efficiency (GLE) have been designed. The correlation between the green logistics input and output indicators have been analyzed by Pearson, and the green logistics efficiency of 11 cities in Jiangxi Province has been calculated by three-stage DEA. The evolutionary characteristics of the high-quality development of green logistics efficiency in Jiangxi Province were analyzed and evaluated. The conclusions were achieved as follows: (1) Nanchang, Xinyu and Ganzhou city are at the forefront of efficiency, and are less affected by environmental factors. The logistics efficiency of other cities is obviously affected by environmental factors. (2) The comprehensive technical efficiency (TE) of green logistics in Jiangxi Province is strongly influenced by scale efficiency (SE). The poor scale efficiency reduces the comprehensive technical efficiency of green logistics. (3) There is a positive correlation between high-quality economic development and logistics efficiency. In these cities of Jiangxi province (Nanchang, Ganzhou, Jiujiang, etc.) the share of total economy and green logistics efficiency is high. This study proves that Jiangxi province is moving towards high-quality economic development due to good environmental protection. (4) In 2017, Jiangxi Province was recognized as one of the national ecological civilization pilot region by the State Council. Green logistics efficiency in Jiangxi Province showed an inflection point in 2017, indicating that the green concept is becoming more and more popular. From the government to enterprises, the province has achieved initial results in promoting the transformation of the economic development mode. It aims to provide reference for the high-quality development of other provinces.

High-quality economic development is the key task of China’s 14th five-year plan.High-quality development is the transformation from extensive management with high pollution and high consumption to green, sustainable and efficient intensive management.Green logistics play an important role in the high-quality development of the logistics industry
In the context of a low-carbon environment, based on the relevant data of 11 cities in Jiangxi Province, this paper selects the indicators related to high-quality development and green logistics efficiency, establishes the green logistics efficiency evaluation index through correlation analysis, factor analysis and high selection coefficient, and measures the comprehensive technical efficiency, pure technology efficiency and scale efficiency of 11 cities in Jiangxi Province through the three-stage Data envelopment analysis (DEA) model
Logistics efficiency is obviously affected by environmental factors, but the effect is different between different cities

High-quality economic development is the key task of China’s 14th five-year plan.High-quality development is the transformation from extensive management with high pollution and high consumption to green, sustainable and efficient intensive management.Green logistics play an important role in the high-quality development of the logistics industry. High-quality economic development is the key task of China’s 14th five-year plan. High-quality development is the transformation from extensive management with high pollution and high consumption to green, sustainable and efficient intensive management. Green logistics play an important role in the high-quality development of the logistics industry. The essence of green logistics is to pursue economic benefits without damaging the ecological environment, and realize the “two-wheel drive” of economic and social development and ecological environmental protection. The ultimate goal of green logistics is to achieve economic, social and environmental coordination, and sustainable development. There are still more problems in the transformation and development of green logistics in each country. The development mode of the traditional logistics industry is Sustainability 2022, 14, 797.
