The study examines biomimicry research through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Two clusters of biomimicry research were identified: Cluster 1 focuses on innovative biomimetic ideas for health, partnerships, and life on land, and Cluster 2 explores nature-inspired solutions for clean water, energy, and infrastructure. The research highlights the interplay between biomimicry themes and SDGs, revealing the cross-disciplinary nature of this field. The study’s findings show that biomimicry can contribute to advancements in healthcare, energy generation and storage, and infrastructure development. Furthermore, it addresses challenges such as translation and commercialization, educational models, gender-inclusive design, inclusive urban solutions, and peace and justice. The research emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, strategic investment, and education to navigate the market landscape and overcome barriers. Successful case studies illustrate the integration of biomimicry principles into conventional practices, enhancing corporate sustainability and innovation. The study concludes that biomimicry has the potential to make a significant impact in achieving the SDGs, highlighting the importance of continued research and development in this field.
Infusing biomimicry innovations into sustainable development goals This rewritten line aims to maintain the core idea of connecting biomimicry research to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while rephrasing it in a more concise and dynamic way.
