Tiivistelmä

Metaverse is a digital revolution that aims to create immersive, interactive, and integrated digital experiences through the Internet. This chapter explores the complex relationship between the metaverse and the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the United Nations, providing a detailed analysis of the Metaverse’s potential contributions, associated challenges, and wider implications for a sustainable future. Metaverse represents a transformative shift toward immersive digital experiences, with instances spanning from mining operations to intellectual property challenges and social interactions. By examining the existing research, technological developments, and practical applications, we aim to uncover insights that can inform the effective utilization of this technology. Following our analysis, we offer critical insights into regulatory necessities and governance frameworks stemming from Metaverse usage. In addition, we provide an overview of potential avenues for future research, focusing on key challenges, innovative educational uses, and the promotion of sustainability. In conclusion, understanding the myriad applications and implications of this burgeoning field will significantly contribute to the growth of this emerging field while also serving the higher purpose of sustainable development.
