CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as the predominant method for genome editing due to its cost-effectiveness and broad applicability, playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable practices across various sectors. This systematic review leverages PRISMA methodology explore CRISPR/Cas9's impact on environmental protection, thereby supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analyzing data from Web of Science, found significant growth related publications, with 30% increase since 2014, predominantly US, China, Germany, UK. The study categorizes scientific developments into three trends: advancements agriculture, gene techniques, biofuel production. Key discussions include use developing fourth-generation biofuels biosensors, well applications enhancing genetic resilience controlling invasive species. These innovations highlight potential promoting resource management energy generation, marking pivotal contribution ecological conservation sustainability efforts.
