description Abstract Sustainable consumption has emerged as a critical research domain in response to the growing environmental and social challenges posed by overconsumption. This study presents a hybrid review by integrating bibliometric analysis and a overview of reviews using PRISMA Approach to provide a comprehensive understanding of mindful, responsible, and sustainable consumption. The bibliometric analysis reveals the key themes, intellectual structures, and research trends across 1741 research articles retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science. Additionally, a focused synthesis of 84 selected review papers was conducted to examine methodological patterns, theoretical frameworks, and emerging research gaps. Findings indicate a shift from individual consumer behaviour models to interdisciplinary approaches incorporating digital interventions, AI-driven decision-making, and circular economy principles. While research has expanded, challenges such as greenwashing, intention-behaviour gaps, and limited policy implementation persist. The study highlights critical research voids, including the underrepresentation of socio-cultural dimensions and intersectionality with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By offering a structured roadmap for future research, this review advances academic discourse and provides actionable insights for policymakers, businesses, and consumer advocacy groups.
