Abstract

This bibliometric study investigates the edge of technological education of emerging sustainable technology based on a comprehensive review of academic papers for 20152025 using VOSviewer network visualisation. The study finds that there was a sharp surge in 2020, whereby annual publications increased threefold and peaked at 51 publications in 2024, a surge of 280%. There are three separate communities driving research: a highly connected European community that includes Shulla, Katerina, and Nikolaou, I.E., a bridge community led by Leal Filho, Walter D.S., and a new Latin American community. China, the United States, Spain, and Germany remain the geographical leaders, but India, Taiwan, Turkey, and Belgium are becoming frontier nations. Themed, the topic is a paradigm shift from technology-driven policies to equity-driven, community-driven innovation. The flagship study (2024-2025) focuses on access to justice, community, and green law, as well as the nexus of corporate social responsibility, digital empowerment, and Industry 4.0. This innovation introduces sustainable, technology-based education as a transformative approach to environmental sustainability and social justice, promoting the welfare of the world and humanity.
