Abstract: Global warming impacts are becoming more visible in our daily life. Supply chain activities and many logistics activities are the leading sources of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission and environmental pollutions. These issues have raised concerns to reduce CO₂ emissions amount through design and planning of supply chain networks. Operations research has been recognised by many studies as an effective tool to deal with CO₂ emission in design and planning of green supply chains. To date, a number of literature reviews have highlighted the contribution of operations research to green supply chain management with broader areas of focus. In this paper, we present a review which highlights the operations research contribution to recent green supply chain and logistics literature which specifically focuses on planning and control of supply chain activities with respect to CO₂ emission. Finally, we propose some possible areas for further developments of current studies and directions for future research.
