In the face of global challenges such as resource scarcity, environmental pollution, and climate change, leveraging technological innovation to promote sustainable development has become a critical imperative. The metaverse, as an emerging digital ecosystem that integrates artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, virtual reality (VR), and the Internet of Things (IoT), is reshaping human interaction and presenting new development opportunities. However, sustainability issues such as high energy consumption, data privacy concerns, and social equity have also raised widespread attention. This study explores how the metaverse can facilitate sustainable development in key areas including energy, transportation, water resource management, food supply chains, and environmental protection. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the potential impact of metaverse technologies on sustainable development and assess their applicability across various industries. Through literature reviews and case analyses, this paper examines the real-world application of the metaverse in different domains, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings reveal that the metaverse holds considerable potential for reducing resource waste, improving efficiency, and optimizing decision-making—particularly through digital twins for power grid optimization, carbon footprint reduction, intelligent transportation systems, enhanced water management, and transparent food supply chains. Nonetheless, the high energy demand—especially in blockchain and cloud computing—remains a significant challenge. Furthermore, issues of technological equity and data privacy require additional research and policy intervention. In conclusion, while the metaverse is positioned to play a vital role in driving sustainable development, its potential adverse effects must not be ignored. Future research should focus on green computing technologies, the development of low-carbon blockchain systems, and the establishment of policy and regulatory frameworks to ensure that the metaverse contributes positively to sustainability.
