Climate change policy based on global study evolution 1979-2023: An insight and direction for Indonesia

Climate change is becoming an increasingly urgent issue and impacts countries around the world, including Indonesia, which are vulnerable to climate change. This research uses data sources in the form of research publication documents from the Scopus database by maximizing bibliometric analysis with Vosviewer. The main findings show that climate change is an urgent global challenge that requires active participation and profound contributions from Indonesia. Although the evolution of global studies on climate change policy provides valuable insights, Indonesia’s complex challenges, such as geographic diversity and the limited number of studies and publications, require a serious response. Understanding global climate change policy provides valuable insight for Indonesia in formulating future policy directions. Although the dominant research comes from environmental and social sciences, Indonesia needs to expand its involvement in sustainable economic development, green infrastructure, and renewable energy research. Cross-sector coordination and adequate financial and technological support are crucial in implementing this policy. This also requires adaptive regulation and public awareness.
