Abstract
In 2015 all UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which provides roadmap for peace and prosperity for the world. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the center of it. This study examines the vital role that renewable energy projects play in accomplishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations considering the growing environmental concerns and the pressing need for sustainable development. This research employs a critical literature review approach to review studies on the practices of renewable energy projects to achieve SDGs. The findings underscore the importance of continued investment in renewable energy projects to accelerate progress towards the SDGs. Apart from the environmental benefits, the findings also focus on different benefits of renewable energy projects for the society and economics. The study also highlights the geographical distribution of research contributions, with developed countries leading the field, while emerging economies like China, India, and Turkey are increasingly making significant contributions. Findings from this study offer a comprehensive understanding of current renewable energy projects research to identify the knowledge gaps and direct the future trends.
