ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of the global active response to climate change and China's all-out pursuit of the "Dual Carbon" goals, the logistics industry, due to its significant carbon emission scale, has become a crucial area for carbon emission reduction. This study focuses on the driving influence of carbon trading policies on logistics enterprises. It systematically expounds the relevant theoretical foundations, deeply analyzes the policy mechanisms, comprehensively reveals the challenges that enterprises face during their transformation, and innovatively proposes transformation paths such as the collaborative research and development of green logistics technologies, the multi-party sharing of equipment renewal costs, the construction of a low-carbon logistics talent echelon, and the dual adaptability strategy towards policies and the market. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the low-carbon transformation of logistics enterprises, and contribute to the vigorous development of China's low-carbon economy.
