Abstract

The earth's average temperature has risen by approximately 1.2°C since the 1900s. The COP26 resolution aimed to achieve Carbon neutrality before 2050. It requires either the activities must not release any greenhouse gases or the emitted greenhouse gases must be offset. The logistics and transport industry contributes a lot to global greenhouse gas emissions. The challenges of the logistics industry are discussed in this paper, then the possible solutions such as green procurement, green packaging, green transport, and green warehousing, are discussed. The next is the case study of CN Logistics' contemporary green solutions (circular economy, carbon neutrality & green co-creation) to show how to tackle the problem, and end with a conclusion to appeal the industry to start the green journey now.
