Abstract: Amid global climate change and resource constraints, China’s logistics industry faces high energy consumption and carbon emissions, hindering sustainable development. This study analyses the interaction between logistics green total factor productivity and green low-carbon consumption using data from 30 Chinese provinces during 2012–2022. Results show that while logistics energy intensity is decreasing, total energy consumption and carbon emissions are still rising. The concept of green low-carbon consumption is spreading but has limited impact on logistics’ low-carbon development, with regional disparities. Most provinces have high coupling and coordination degrees but no significant spatial clustering.
