\begin{abstract}
Advancements in large language models (LLMs) provide opportunities to
accelerate progress towards the attainment of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Current research largely overlooks the nuanced
benefits and dangers LLMs introduce to sustainability research and
communication, as well as broader challenges that need to be addressed
in the longer term. This paper overcomes these shortcomings by
introducing and discussing a framework that highlights how LLMs can
benefit knowledge production, mobilization, and communication in the
sustainability sciences, as well as any associated dangers.

In addition, it outlines potential long-term challenges that must be
acknowledged and addressed to ensure the responsible use of LLMs in
advancing sustainability science. A key to the development and use of
LLMs for sustainability science is the development of regulatory
measures. These measures should be guided by what is needed for
expanding sustainability science on the one hand and a holistic view to
ensure its responsible use on the other. Failure to reflect and act on
this might result in unintended consequences or misuse, making the
technology another roadblock to progress towards the SDGs.%
