The future of the planet depends largely on human beings, who currently occupy a dominant position among living species. This condition highlights the importance of global efforts to ensure that the sustainability of life on Earth remains a central priority, as articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper investigates how sustainability and education have been represented in research publications in Indonesia. This study reviews the development of sustainability and education research in Indonesia using a systematic literature review (SLR) supported by structured content analysis and descriptive mapping. A total of 362 documents were retrieved from the Scopus database using specific keywords. The systematic review reveals an upward trend in publications over the past nine years, with universities in Java playing a dominant role, and a significant acceleration in knowledge production during the last five years. This increase is accompanied by growing diversity in research topics, domains, keywords, and methodological approaches. One of the most notable findings is the prominence of service-based learning (SBL), which appears to be a distinctive feature of higher education pedagogy in Indonesia.
