Introduction/Objective: In today’s context, the green economy has emerged as a pivotal multidisciplinary field of study and research. This study aims to delve deeply into its bibliometric trends, primary research themes, and critical challenges within the framework of sustainable development. The objective was to explore influential literature, conducted through analysis of the Scopus database spanning from 2022 to 2024. Methodology: This study employed a two-phase mixed-method review with an embedded design (quan-qual). The first phase utilized bibliometric analysis, while the second phase adopted a hermeneutic approach. A total of 822 studies were analyzed in the initial phase, followed by an in-depth examination of 23 studies in the second phase. Results: The findings underscore the burgeoning growth and increasing relevance of the green economy. Moreover, they outline the key thematic tensions that define the intersection between sustainability and the principles of the green economy. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive synthesis of the challenges and potentials inherent in the green economy as a field of study. It also offers insights into future research directions to further elucidate its current state and trajectory.
