Abstract
International import and export trade, along with cross-border logistics management, plays a pivotal role in the era of globalization, driving the development of the global economy and fostering international trade prosperity. Nevertheless, the continuous growth of the global economy has also brought forth fresh challenges to the ecological environment posed by cross-border logistics activities. Against this backdrop, this paper begins by analysing the correlation between international trade and logistics activities. The study reveals a positive response relationship between the total volume of international import and export trade and cross-border logistics, demonstrating a positive correlation. Subsequently, the impact of international import and export trade, as well as cross-border logistics, on the ecological environment is discussed, underscoring the significance of implementing ecological environment monitoring. Taking into account the environmental impact of cross-border logistics activities, an integrated system is proposed and designed to enhance cross-border logistics efficiency while considering environmental protection and sustainable development. This system encompasses real-time monitoring, data collection, threat, and risk assessment. This study makes a clear contribution to research on green innovation and environmental protection within the context of cross-border logistics. It offers a different perspective on the integration of cross-border logistics management and the ecological environment, deepens understanding of environmental protection innovation strategies and cross-border logistics management from the perspective of sustainable development. Furthermore, it provides valuable management insights for related enterprises to balance development and environmental protection. Additionally, it sheds light on the international impact of import and export trade, offering crucial inspiration and theoretical references for decision-making.
