Achieving net-zero emissions has become a global priority for the logistics, transportation, and supply chain sectors. International organizations, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the European Union (EU), and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), have introduced ambitious decarbonization targets and regulatory frameworks to accelerate the transition toward sustainable transportation systems.

The maritime and logistics industries are increasingly adopting green shipping corridors, alternative fuels, multimodal transport solutions, and AI-enabled digital transformation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve environmental performance. At the same time, industries face significant challenges, including high capital investments, increased operational costs, and the need for resilient green energy supply chains.

This Special Issue seeks to advance scholarly understanding of how logistics and transportation systems can successfully transition toward net-zero pathways through technological innovation, digitalization, policy interventions, and sustainable supply chain transformation.
