Green Economy Policies In Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through The Renewable Energy Sector: Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The rapid economic development and increasing energy consumption have posed significant challenges to global environmental and social sustainability. The dominance of fossil energy has led to an increase in carbon emissions, making the transition to a green economy and the use of renewable energy critical solutions for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy. This study analyses green economy policies in achieving SDGs through the renewable energy sector using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Based on 12 articles analyzed, the main findings show that green economy policies, through the development of renewable energy and green finance, positively impact sustainable economic growth and carbon emission reduction in various countries. Furthermore, the increase in renewable energy consumption has also been shown to support the reduction of social inequalities and improve welfare. This study aims to analyze the role of the green economy in achieving the SDGs through the renewable energy sector using this SLR method, with the expectation of providing a more comprehensive understanding of its effectiveness in supporting the sustainable energy transition in Indonesia.
