The most important problem that humanity must address and solve is environmentally based. Global warming, climate changes, resource depletion and similar disasters shorten the life of our planet. With the destruction of the environment, our world is moving towards a great extinction. The biggest share in this disaster belongs to economic interest groups. The desire for a more comfortable life, which lies behind more production, rapidly consumes natural resources and poisons the environment. Although this process, called economic sustainability, seems to be for the benefit of humanity, it is diametrically opposed to environmental sustainability. Therefore, it is very difficult to combine both sustainability concepts under the same roof. As economic sustainability increases, the chance of environmental sustainability decreases further. The world economy, which grows and develops by consuming natural resources, has always ignored environmental destruction. However, what is happening in our current period once again reveals to us the fact that the environment we inherited is being destroyed. If the process continues like this, we may not be able to entrust this livable environment that we inherited to future generations as it was inherited. At this point, considerable organizations and institutions around the world focus on environmental sustainability for drawing attention to how important the issue is and how urgent the solution is. So much so that ensuring environmental sustainability and creating individual and social awareness regarding environmental sustainability can only be achieved through education. Therefore, the basis of ensuring environmental sustainability lies in educating and raising the awareness of the society. In this context, educational organizations have a great duty and responsibility. Educational organizations benefit from written, visual and other educational resources in the process of raising awareness about environmental sustainability. The process is managed by teachers within the educational organizations. On the other hand, convincing the society to change by managing the process and creating desired behaviors in the society through education requires a certain leadership style. Since the issue is to ensure the continuity of natural resources by protecting the environment and especially the green, the necessity of a transformation and change is inevitable. In other words, teachers are expected to act as green transformational leaders for a sustainable environment. Teachers in educational organizations not only raise public awareness by displaying green transformational leadership behaviors; they initiate the process of creating these leaders. Finally, in this literature review, the most cited studies on the concept of green transformational leadership were taken into account. However, it appears that relevant research does not focus on the field of education. The aim of this study is to shed light on future research by revealing the reflections of green transformational leadership in educational organizations through literature review.
