Knowledge management (KM) is a key driver of sustainable development, as it facilitates the efficient generation, dissemination, and application of knowledge to address global challenges. Sustainable development requires informed decision-making, innovation, and the integration of diverse knowledge systems, including scientific research, traditional practices, and technological advancements. By systematically managing knowledge, organizations, governments, and communities can optimize resource use, enhance policy-making, and foster long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Effective KM strategies encourage collaboration, improve institutional learning, and enable the adoption of best practices in various sectors, including energy, agriculture, education, and industry. Digital transformation and data-driven decision-making further enhance KM by improving accessibility to information, fostering transparency, and enabling real-time responses to emerging issues. Additionally, knowledge-sharing networks and interdisciplinary cooperation contribute to the development of sustainable policies and innovative solutions that address challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality.

Despite its benefits, implementing KM for sustainable development faces challenges such as knowledge fragmentation, digital inequalities, and inadequate institutional frameworks. Overcoming these barriers requires investment in education, technology, and policies that support knowledge accessibility and inclusivity. By fostering a culture of learning, innovation, and collaboration, KM can serve as a powerful tool in achieving long-term sustainability goals, ensuring a balanced approach to economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being.
