Under the dual carbon goals, green logistics serves as a vital pillar for high-quality development. This study adopts a configuration perspective and employs the fsQCA method, centering on new-type productive forces. It selects three primary indicators—new-type laborers, objects of labor, and means of labor—along with nine secondary indicators as antecedent variables to explore their influence mechanisms on green logistics development. The findings reveal that green logistics development lacks a single prerequisite, instead relying on a combination of multiple factors. Nine effective pathways were identified and categorized into three types: innovation-driven industrial leadership, R&D breakthrough compensation, and multi-factor synergy. Results indicate that green logistics development exhibits multi-configuration equivalence characteristics, with innovation-driven development and industrial modernization serving as core supports. These insights provide theoretical and practical references for local governments to formulate tailored policies and promote the deep integration of new productive forces with green logistics.
