CULTURAL HUBS OF KNOWLEDGE: ACADEMIC LIBRARIES AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE 2050 AGENDA

All sectors now place a high premium on sustainable development, with education being essential for reaching 
long-term social, economic, and environmental objectives. In this regard, incorporating digital systems that 
have been scientifically optimized into educational frameworks is crucial to guaranteeing high operational 
efficiency, inclusivity, and low environmental impact. To explain how to maximize the usefulness of digital 
learning platforms in providing sustainable education, this paper presents a thorough mathematical model 
that is explained. The model explains important parameters like resource consumption, accessibility, and 
scalability using Multiple Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) when combined with advanced learning 
analytics. In comparison to traditional educational systems, the model shows how digital education can 
drastically reduce the reliance on physical infrastructure and materials, thereby lowering energy use and 
carbon footprints. The model also emphasizes how digital platforms can improve inclusivity by giving diverse 
learner populations flexible access, irrespective of socioeconomic or geographic barriers. According to the 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Sustainability 2050 vision, among other global sustainability 
frameworks, this study highlights the strategic significance of digital transformation in education and suggests 
that it could be a means of achieving sustainable development. The results show how digital education is not 
only a viable and inexpensive alternate, but also a vital tool for promoting fair educational opportunities and 
reducing environmental effects. This study adds to the growing number of data that supports the adoption of 
digital innovations as key components of sustainable educational systems throughout the globe.
