GREEN LOGISTICS AND GEOGRAPHY SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

Green logistics has stood out as an essential approach to reducing the environmental impacts of logistics activities, promoting sustainability and operational efficiency. Geographic thinking, in turn, offers a strategic vision to understand spatial interactions and their influences on the environment. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between green logistics and geography, demonstrating how the integration of these knowledges can optimize resource management and minimize environmental damage. For this, a methodological approach based on a literature review was used, with the analysis of studies and data on sustainable practices in the logistics sector. The results indicate that the implementation of green logistics, associated with geographical thinking, allows the choice of more efficient routes, the reduction of pollutant emissions and the optimization of transport and distribution processes. In addition, the research demonstrated that the adoption of sustainable practices in logistics is essential to face contemporary environmental challenges, such as climate change and the degradation of natural resources. It is concluded that the combination of green logistics and geography represents a viable strategy to minimize environmental impacts, improve logistics efficiency and contribute to sustainable development.
