“…In 2015, the 193 countries of the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Development Agenda titled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” which outlines 17 sustainable development goals to serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future” (United Nations, 2015). Since then, the SDGs have been researched in many dimensions, including overall performance (Jain & Jain, 2020; Shuai et al, 2021, 2022; Xiao et al, 2022), specific SDGs (Chen, Shuai, & Wu, 2022; Fu, 2021; Irfan et al, 2023; Oliveira‐Duarte et al, 2021), and particular areas such as carbon emissions reduction (Kartal et al, 2022; Nurgazina et al, 2021, 2022), renewable energy (Adebayo, Kartal, et al, 2023; Adebayo, Ullah, et al, 2023; Ali et al, 2022; Kartal et al, 2023; Wu et al, 2023), technology innovation (Philip et al, 2022; Udemba, Emir, & Philip, 2022; Udemba & Tosun, 2022; Wang et al, 2023).…”
