Bibliometric analysis maps research trends in sustainable finance, indicating a growing focus on climate and green finance globally.
Sustainable finance is widely recognised as a major driver of the green economy and global climate mitigation efforts. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of sustainable finance, climate finance, and green finance using data collected from the Scopus database covering the period from 1992 to 2025. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were employed to analyse research trends and science mapping, including influential publications, leading keywords, prominent journals, and emerging research trends. The findings reveal that China dominates this domain in terms of research output and institutional affiliations, while the journal Sustainability ranks as the leading journals with the highest number of publications. The study highlights the evolving intellectual structure and emerging themes within sustainable, climate, and green finance research, providing a strong foundation for future research agendas and targeted policy interventions to advance sustainable finance globally.
