In 2015 representatives from 193 countries, member states of the United Nations, met in New York, United States. The event culminated in the 2030 Agenda, so called New Urban Agenda, through which a set of commitments was established to promote sustainable development. The growing awareness with development, based on the tripod economy, environment, and society, has aroused many researchers' interest. The objective of mapping how the international scientific production on the Sustainable Development Goals - SDG, within the perspective of the Economy, has been considered and proposed by the literature in the period from 2015 to 2020. The Web of Science database and VOSviewer, andCitNetExplorersoftware was used to achieve this goal. We chose to restrict the Economy's analysis due to the apparent predominance of policies published towards economic growth. As a result of this work, it was found that the most cited articles are related to sustainable development, carbon emission reductions, clean energy services, national contexts to foster innovation and the adoption of technology, application of circular economy techniques, governance model, and combating climate change and the implications of climate change policy in the paths of sustainable development.
