The Evolution Green Logistics

Environmentalism is a growing human sensitiveness about nature which is under threat of pollution, waste and deprivation. The desire of fast growing and acquiring huge profit have resulted in environmental deterioration. Sustainability development paradigm has been implemented by states to care for current and future generation needs. Among economic sectors, logistics, as a growing one, has also undesirable effects on the environment. Among all, the transportation sector which heavily depends on fossil fuels can be considered one of the main culprits for climate change and global warming. With the widening green growth discourse, the green logistics concept has also evolved to find a practical solution to emerging needs of the environment and adapt itself to its concerns. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the evolution of sustainable development and green growth as well as green logistics in many perspectives. In this regard, firstly the conceptual development of sustainable development and green growth and green logistics will be analyzed and then green logistics will be examined from the environmental viewpoint.
