The paper calculates the total volume of CO 2 emission of the logistics industry in China, the consumption factor and distribution factor based on the statistical yearbook and the input-output table, and analyzes the correlation between CO 2 emission in the logistics industry and other industries of China. The result suggests that its total CO 2 emission volume shows a linear upward trend, but its average growth rate and emission intensity are going down year by year. As the CO 2 emission from the logistics industry is closely forward-correlated with that of the manufacturing, the construction industry and the logistics industry, it has a strong driving impact on the CO 2 emission of the industries concerned. Meanwhile, the backward-correlation with the manufacturing and the electric power, gas and water production and supply industries, and the logistics industry makes the logistics industry the greatest consumer of CO 2 emission from these industries. The development of the low CO 2 emission-oriented logistics industry requires a reduction of indirect CO 2 emission in the forward-correlated industries as well as the backward-correlated industries.
