The PRISMA methodology is applied to the Web of Science and Scopus databases between 2014 and 2024, based on nine classification criteria: background of the concept, determining factors, paradigm, type of problem, scope, unit of analysis, level of application, publications by year and by country. It is observed that the studies are mainly quantitative (χ2=24,725 Df. (2), p < .005), empirical (χ2=197,591 Df. (3), p < .005), descriptive (χ2=22,108 Df. (3), p < .005), mostly focused on students (χ2=128,774 Df. (3), p < .005) from tertiary education (χ2=117,677 Df. (5), p < .005). CS is related to educational factors, however the dissimilarity in its definition requires attention to effectively contribute to sustainable development objectives. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.openAccessSUSTAINABILITYSUSTAINABILITY CONSCIOUSNESSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTArtículo https://doi.org/10.21664/2238-8869.2025v14i2.p58-73
