"What is going on in global goals projects, is agenda filled?" Highlighting circular economy literature within sustainable development goals-review-based

The global goal of development concerns has embraced global action, leading to framework initiatives grounded in future-proof projects. Closely aligned with circular economy (CE) initiatives, which minimize single-use materials and address practices that reflect sustainability concepts, studies are rapidly emerging to identify practices in CE literatures relevant to SDGs. Therefore, a study to identify the CE literatures' contribution towards domains and targets in SDGs is highly urgent. By drawing a total of 4431 as a sampling of final literature analyzed using instrument tools in metrics mapping. Our discovery shows that CE studies contribute to posts in SDGS target achievement, which keeps on increasing. To dive deep into CE research on CE's relevance to SDGs, it was observed that China's scholars offered their publications in various viewpoints. Significantly, SDG12 (n = 68.9%) and have exceeded half a percentage of publications covering CE relevance to SDGs, implied that CE studies focused heavily on sustainable consumption and production patterns through actions in reaching SDGs. Followed by SDG7 (n = 6.3%), strongly reinforcing CE provides assessed value in SDGs calling for affordable and sustainable development and energy for all, in line with relied CE actions in considering innovation models to recreate product and energy resource reuse practices in a bid to minimize the adverse impacts for future. Given additional insights on circular economy targets related to SDGs, the research implication was to provide a policy recommendation to encourage the practice of circular economy based on SDGs targets.
