Climate resilience has evolved and transitioned from a concept focused on disaster risk to a strategic development paradigm. It has become a core area of focus for researchers, professionals, and policymakers due to the increasing frequency and severity of climate change hazards. The academic landscape persists in a fragmented state in spite of its significant prominence due to diverse conceptual frameworks, various definitions, and a lack of precise indicators to assess climate resilience across sectors. The crucial objective of this research is to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the academic literature on climate resilience, measure the scientific influence, and identify gaps and opportunities. This bibliometric review was conducted using data from Web of Science, consisting of 1096 articles published between 2015 and 2025. Vosviewer represents the main software used to evaluate the network of leading authors, journals, international collaborations, and the dominant countries. Terms such as climate change, resilience, and indicators received particular attention, representing the main conceptual connections. This study reveals an overview of the field’s progression, themes, trends, and challenges. The results reveal a sustained increase in research output and a heterogeneous landscape organized around key domains, including urban resilience, ecosystem dynamics, agricultural systems, governance, climate impacts, and sustainability transitions. Resilience is assessed using diverse, context-specific indicators, with governance, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity frequently identified as core dimensions. However, measurement approaches remain inconsistent and lack standardization. Scientific production is concentrated in a limited number of countries, although international collaboration is gradually expanding. These findings underscore the multidimensional and evolving characteristics of climate resilience research, with no clear movement toward a unified measurement framework.
