This article examines the modeling of sustainable development in transport logistics, focusing on the impact of climate factors, changing weather conditions, and digitalization processes. The study analyzes the complex influence of adverse weather phenomena, such as fog, rain, snow, extreme temperatures, and strong winds, whose frequency and intensity are increasing due to climate change, on the efficiency, safety, and reliability of transport systems across all modes except pipelines. Special attention is paid to the integration of weather-resilient sensor technologies, including LiDAR, thermal imaging, and advanced monitoring systems, to strengthen infrastructure resilience and ensure uninterrupted transport operations under environmental stress. The methodological framework combines comparative analytical methods with economic–mathematical modeling, particularly Leontief’s input–output model, to evaluate the mutual influence between the transport sector and sustainable economic growth within an interconnected ecosystem of economic and technological factors. The findings confirm that data-driven management strategies, the digital transformation of logistics, and the strengthening of centralized hubs contribute significantly to increasing the resilience and flexibility of transport systems, mitigating the negative economic impacts of climate risks, and promoting long-term sustainable development. Practical recommendations are proposed to optimize freight flows, adapt infrastructure to changing weather risks, and support the integration of innovative digital technologies as part of an evolving ecosystem.
