INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO EDUCATION AND MANAGEMENT: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF PRACTICES ALIGNING WITH THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Abstract

The integration of sustainability into management and educational practices was examined in this systematic literature review, with an emphasis on how these practices help to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN. The study examined 26 peer-reviewed scholarly publications from SCOPUS and Web of Science using the PRISMA approach. Three main themes came to light: sustainability education and awareness, sustainable development goals (SDGs) in practice and sustainable management practices. The evaluation emphasizes the value of multidisciplinary teaching methods and the part management plays in advancing sustainable development. The study provides important insights into how well sustainability programs shape professional practices and educational frameworks by combining several research approaches. The findings offer practical solutions for educators, managers and policymakers looking to match their practices with global sustainability goals.
