Green logistics in Ukraine’s foreign economic activity is becoming a strategic necessity amid global environmental challenges and rising sustainability demands. This study analyzes trends, challenges, and opportunities in implementing eco-friendly logistics, emphasizing EU policies like the “Fit for 55” package. It examines infrastructure damage, energy costs, and the need for digital transformation using IoT, AI, and blockchain to optimize operations and reduce emissions. The research highlights multimodal transport, state support, and sustainable management practices as key factors for enhancing Ukraine’s global competitiveness and environmental security.
