Tech-Driven Progress: Leveraging Technology in Advancing Sustainable Development Goals in Emerging Economies
摘要
The role of technology is pivotal in attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs) across the globe, particularly in emerging countries where the impact of technology can be very transformational. This book chapter explores the multifaceted relationship between technological innovation and the attainment of SDGs. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of how technology plays a great role in facilitating sustainable development. We have undergone a thorough examination of multiple technologies from diverse emerging economies to exemplify the successful integration of technology in sustainable development, through a bibliometric analysis of 6689 documents extracted from the Scopus database, we have undertaken performance analysis and science mapping by using software like R-studio Package, bibliometrix, and VOSviewer. The findings revealed China and India are the leading countries in our domain of study, four major clusters have emerged from our bibliographic couplings, namely: (a) Circular economy and decision-making, (b) Supply chain management and sustainability, (c) Sustainable energy utilization and economic impact, (d) Sustainability innovation and environmental economics. Furthermore, this chapter provides how the strategic implementation of technology is crucial for accelerating SDG adoption in various emerging economies. Through collaborative initiatives, supportive and robust mechanisms and governance policies are created to harness technology’s full potential for the advancements of SDGs.
