This study explores the critical role of cybersecurity in environmental protection and sustainable development, a topic that has received limited attention in contemporary research. Through a systematic literature review and content analysis of peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and industry reports from 2015 to 2023, the research highlights the indispensable nature of cybersecurity in safeguarding technological infrastructure essential for environmental conservation efforts. Key findings indicate that evolving cyber threats necessitate adaptive security measures, while advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain offer opportunities to enhance the security and efficiency of sustainable practices. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks, stakeholder collaboration, cybersecurity education, and alignment with regulatory standards to fortify sustainability initiatives against cyber threats. It concludes that robust cybersecurity measures are crucial for achieving sustainable development goals, requiring ongoing vigilance, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to navigate the complex landscape of digital threats and opportunities. This research contributes valuable insights into the intersection of cybersecurity and sustainability, providing a foundation for future studies and strategic initiatives aimed at securing sustainable development in the digital age.This study explores the critical role of cybersecurity in environmental protection and sustainable development, a topic that has received limited attention in contemporary research.
