Green Logistics, Systematic Review, Transport and Logistics, Sustainability Management.Abstract
This study provides a systematic quantitative assessment technique (SQAT) of Green Logistics (GL) research conducted between 2021 and 2026, focusing on the transport and logistics sector. This review aims to map and evaluate global Green Logistics research trends published between 2021 and 2026. A total of 100 GL-related publications from 31 countries were reviewed, with the majority published in 2025, by Asian scholars. Among all contributing nations, China recorded the highest number of GL publications. Most of the reviewed studies employed empirical approaches, while a smaller proportion were conceptual in nature. Four primary data collection methods were identified (surveys, secondary data, interviews, and observations), with surveys emerging as the most dominant technique. The review further revealed three major thematic areas: GL magnitude, GL consequences, and GL mechanisms, with the magnitude dimension receiving the greatest scholarly attention. The authors highlight the need for increased GL research in underrepresented regions such as South America and Australasia and advocate for more conceptual contributions to balance the dominance of empirical works. They also recommend the adoption of qualitative and mixed-method approaches, which combine numerical data with participants' experiences and perspectives to generate deeper insights and a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem, particularly within studies focusing on GL consequences and mechanisms.
