Özet
In recent years, disaster logistics operations have begun to be evaluated not only in terms of speed and efficiency but also in terms of their environmental impacts. However, the relationship between disaster logistics and environmental sustainability has not been systematically addressed in the literature. This review article examines the intersection between disaster logistics operations and global climate change, focusing on the integration of green logistics principles into disaster management strategies. A systematic literature review was conducted covering the period from 2018 to 2025, utilizing databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley Online Library, and Taylor & Francis Online. Using the keywords "disaster logistics,""green logistics,"and "climate change,"an initial pool of 320 articles was identified. Following the PRISMA protocol, 60 articles that met quality and relevance criteria were selected for in-depth content analysis. The findings reveal that disaster logistics activities, including transportation, storage, and waste management, contribute significantly to carbon emissions and energy consumption, exacerbating climate risks. While green logistics practices have been shown to reduce the carbon footprint by an average of 20%-35%, their implementation remains limited, particularly in developing countries such as Turkey, compared to more advanced practices in Japan and the European Union. This study fills a notable gap in the literature by offering actionable policy recommendations, including the establishment of green disaster logistics centers, adoption of low-carbon fleets, multimodal transportation systems, circular waste management, and integration of renewable energy sources. Finally, it outlines a future research agenda emphasizing standardized emission metrics and increased empirical studies in emerging economies.
