Artificial intelligence-driven green education for sustainable development goals: A review

The intersection of environmental education and artificial intelligence signifies a paradigmatical paradigm shift towards attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and specifically in SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This is despite the fact that despite considerable growths in technology, the traditional methods used to dispense education are challenged by the need to be able to offer scalable, personalized and beneficial green education that will communicate environm…

The quick read

Published February 19, 2026, this PRISMA-based literature review examined how artificial intelligence intersects with environmental education to advance Quality Education and Climate Action goals. It surveyed applications of machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and intelligent tutoring systems across different educational settings.

The synthesis matters because it maps both the promise of scalable, personalized sustainability learning and the structural hurdles that could prevent equitable adoption. As of the review date, the evidence base remains a collection of emerging trends and pilot applications rather than large-scale measured learning outcomes, leaving uncertainty about effectiveness across contexts.

Main points
  • Review used PRISMA methodology to analyze trends in AI-driven green education linked to SDG 4 and SDG 13.
  • Examined machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and intelligent tutoring systems for environmental literacy and climate change education.
  • Identified applications including adaptive learning systems, VR ecological simulations, AI-based carbon footprint calculators, and automated environmental monitoring.
Gain

AI methods enable personalized sustainability courses and tools like adaptive learning systems and carbon footprint calculators for environmental literacy.

The rundown

The review systematically surveyed literature on machine learning, NLP, computer vision and intelligent tutoring systems applied to environmental literacy, climate change education and sustainability awareness across educational settings.

It synthesized practical uses such as integration of real-time environmental data and gamification of learning, while noting the need for guidance for teachers, policymakers, technologists and researchers to implement intelligent systems for green education.
