Abstract：Currently,the carbon emissions of China's logistics industry account for about 9％of the total national carbon emissions,and the low-carbon development potential and market space of the logistics industry are enormous.It is timely to control the carbon dioxide emissions of China's logistics industry and vigorously develop low-carbon logistics.Using some provinces and cities in China as samples,five antecedent variables were selected from four factors:economy,population,technology,and structure.Using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method,the multiple concurrent effects of low-carbon development in the logistics industry under different development levels of provinces and cities in China were analyzed,thereby promoting low-carbon and high-quality development of the logistics industry.Research has found that a single variable is not a necessary condition for the low-carbon development of China's logistics industry;There are five antecedent configurations,which can be summarized into three low-carbon paths based on the actual situation and economic development needs of each region,namely technology innovation driven,industrial structure driven,and comprehensive development driven.At the same time,there is an asymmetric relationship with the mechanism that generates high carbon emissions in China's logistics industry.
