Abstract

Against the backdrop of global climate change and dual carbon goals, the logistics industry, which accounts for about 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, needs green transformation. Yet, existing evaluation systems have fragmented dimensions, excessive subjectivity, and insufficient objectivity. This study aims to construct a scientific evaluation framework. It uses two rounds of the Delphi method to screen 13 core indicators, forming an environment–economy–society–technology four-dimensional system, and it improves the three-interval TOPSIS method with interval-type ideal solutions, supplemented by Spearman and Pearson dual verification. Taking 24 core cities in the Yangtze River Delta as samples, the results show hierarchical and regional differences: 3 cities (Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou) are excellent, 12 are good, and 9 are qualified. The evaluation system unifies standards for cross-regional and industry comparisons, which works as a quantitative tool for government policy-making and enterprise green transformation, contributing to the development of the logistics industry’s low-carbon intelligent and the achievement of dual carbon goals.
