Abstract :Today businesses are increasingly prioritizing environmentally friendly production in line with sustainability goals, bringing the concept of \\\'Green Accounting\\\' to prominence. The aim of this study is to examine green accounting studies published in the Web of Science database which include sustainable development goals to reveal the current trend and guide researchers by identifying deficiencies. Within the scope of the study a total of 27.406 publications were reached in the Web of Science database between 1985-2024 on 28.08.2024 regarding the concept of green accounting. Out of these, 189 publications focused on green accounting studies related to sustainable development goals. It was observed that the most of the publications were written in 2021 with 22. The 3rd target related to “healthy individuals” was the most common topic (with 85 publications). According to the VOSviewer analysis result; Hodder, Rebecca K, O’brien, Kate M, Tzelepis, Flora, Wolfenden, Luke and Wyse, Rebecca J are in the first place among the authors with the most of the publications and citations. It was seen that they have 5 publications and 146 citations. Türkiye is in the 16th place with 4 publications and 302 citations in published studies. Green accounting is important for the future of the world and research on the subject should be increased.
