A Compilation of Relationships between Climate Change and Finance

Climate change is not a short-term process. It is a consequence of prolonged environmental damage by human beings. Results of climate change have been seen as the rise in the global average temperature, consequently raising the sea level, melting the glaciers, raising the degree of heat waves, droughts, and changes in the timing of monsoons, further impacting agriculture and ultimately impacting human lives and the whole ecological system. However, nowadays, researchers and investors are more concerned about the impact of climate change on the financial markets because it has been seen that climate change may impact them. In this paper, we adopted a bibliometric analysis approach. We used the analysis provided by Scopus based on the input keywords. Initially, we used three words: 'Environment,' 'Climate,' and 'Stock Market.' After further filtration of keywords, we limited the analysis to journal articles from 2013 to 2023 and obtained 510 documents. We found an upward trend in the number of publications. Further, authors from developed countries dominate this field. Our aim in compiling the essential papers that link the finance field to climate change is to provide a comprehensive view of the domain. This comprehensive view will help researchers, regulators, and investors to understand this emerging and crucial phenomenon.
