Description
Sustainable living is crucial in reducing societys reliance on natural resources, a goal intimately connected to the principles of the circular economy. This conceptual framework highlights the interplay between education, technology, and the standard of living as fundamental aspects driving sustainable practices. Education empowers individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to raise awareness and encourage sustainable behavior, shaping beliefs and intentions towards resource efficiency. However, recent studies suggests, increased access to information can paradoxically lead to greater complexities and dilemmas, creating challenges in enacting sustainable consumption and inadvertently slowing sustainable development efforts. Furthermore, the role of technology in the circular economy is indispensable. Advanced technological solutions facilitate the efficient use of resources, offering innovative approaches to mitigate environmental impact while enhancing the quality of life. Earlier literatures underscores the importance of education, funding, and innovation in green technology to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, highlighting the current state and research hotspots in this domain. A comprehensive literature review utilizing the Web of Science database reveals global contributions to SDG research, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that integrates education, technology, and a sustainable standard of living. Together, these elements contribute to the development of a society that fosters a culture of sustainability. By promoting a circular economy, where resources are reused, recycled, and repurposed, we can ensure that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to thrive. This approach not only preserves environmental health but also cultivates resilient communities capable of navigating the complexities of sustainability in a rapidly changing world. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
