📄 Abstract
The urgent need to address climate change and achieve sustainable development goals has elevated the importance of green entrepreneurship as a driver of innovation, competitiveness, and environmental value creation. This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 25 peer-reviewed articles published in ABDC A and A* journals between 2020 and 2025, identified through the Scopus database. Following the PRISMA protocol, the review applied clear inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure rigor and transparency, resulting in a final dataset of high-quality studies across diverse contexts and methodologies. A thematic analysis revealed three dominant clusters shaping the role of green entrepreneurship in sustainability: (i) digitalization and technological enablers, which enhance eco-innovation through digital leadership, big data, and environmental management tools; (ii) governance, leadership, and institutional frameworks, which provide legitimacy, direction, and human capital necessary for sustainability transitions; and (iii) networks, markets, and ecosystems, which amplify entrepreneurial outcomes by facilitating resource access, financial rewards, and collaborative innovation. The discussion emphasizes the interplay of these components, illustrating that sustainable entrepreneurship transcends individual firms and is a systematic phenomenon intertwined with institutional, relational, and technological contexts. The review enhances theory by integrating institutional theory, ecosystem perspectives, and dynamic capacities. Furthermore, the practical and policy ramifications are delineated, emphasizing inclusive financial structures, enhanced governance, and the advancement of digital capabilities. The discussion concludes with limitations and a proposed research agenda, advocating for methodological diversity, cross-regional comparisons, and additional exploration of financial mechanisms for sustainable initiatives.
