A Bibliometric Analysis of Climate Finance Using VOSviewer

Climate change and finance are among the leading research areas that have been receiving increasing attention in the literature in recent years. The aim of this study is to examine articles published on this theme over the last twenty years. Thus, a literature review covering the years 2004-2024 was conducted using bibliometric analysis methods based on the Web of Science database and the VOSviewer programme. Using the keywords ‘climate-finance’ in the Web of Science (WoS) database, a total of 1,109 studies were identified. This study utilised citation analysis, bibliometric coupling, co-citation, co-authorship, and keyword analysis methods, which were explained through visualisation. The fundamental assumptions of this bibliometric analysis study on this issue, the years in which the subject was addressed in the literature, its distribution by country and scientific discipline, the methods, the prominent keywords, and the structure of scientific collaboration in this field are detailed in tables and figures.
