Abstract
Despite eurocentrism being the dominant global mindset and the rich body of scholarship dedicated to it, there are limited studies exploring sustainability through this lens, from which much of the unsustainability stems from. This systematic literature review examines how this overlooked connection exacerbates sustainability problems and how responses aimed at solving these issues often end up perpetuating them. By identifying the core aspects of eurocentrism - superiority, oppression and domination, modernity, and universality - the study unveils how eurocentrism manifests in sustainability discourses and practices. This contribution is important because, despite the growing adoption of sustainability practices and strategies by businesses, sustainability issues continue to worsen. Hence, there is an imperative to move beyond endorsing eurocentric sustainability, which promotes the superiority and universality of Western knowledge and values, and toward approaches that embrace pluriversality to better promote sustainability, equity, and justice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
