The transportation sector is crucial in the global economy's decarbonization efforts. In this context, green financing emerges as a crucial strategy for mobilizing financial resources to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, yet it has received limited academic attention. This paper aims to bridge this gap by offering an overview of the academic development of green financing in transportation, employing a bibliometric analysis approach. Data for this study was sourced from the Scopus database, covering the period from 2007 to 2023. The quantitative analysis of relevant academic literature identifies key green financing mechanisms and their applicability in sustainable transportation. Our findings reveal that this field is gaining increasing academic attention, evidence by publications and citations, with significant contributions from China, the United States, and European countries. Through text mining, certain thematic areas were identified, including carbon pricing and offsetting, ESG, climate policy and change. This research contributes to literature by providing a detailed assessment of the academic interest, current status, and future directions in this domain. It is anticipated that these insights will guide researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, aiding them in capitalizing on emerging investment opportunities, envisioning green outcomes, and promoting more sustainable and equitable communities.
