The logistics industry is an important field of “carbon emissions”, and low-carbon logistics is related to the realization of the goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”. Based on the concept and connotation of low-carbon logistics, the literature research method was adopted to systematically comb the research progress of low-carbon logistics. Firstly, the concept and connotation of low-carbon logistics were expounded from the perspective of low-carbon economy and circular economy and the ways to realize low-carbon logistics were analyzed. Secondly, the literature was sorted out, summarized and reviewed from the main links of logistics operations, namely low-carbon transportation, low-carbon packaging, low-carbon storage, and low-carbon policies and low-carbon awareness, etc. It is pointed out that the change of research perspective from local low-carbon to systematic low-carbon, application of modern information technology and intelligent tools to help low-carbon logistics, aiming at Chinese logistics practice and paying attention to local issues are the main research directions in the future.
