Scientific mapping of Green Finance Research: A Bibliometric Perspective

Abstract

Purpose- Green finance is an essential instrument for combating climate change and a major force behind sustainable economic expansion. Green financing may support sustainable development, encourage innovation, and create green jobs by channelling financial resources towards environmentally conscious initiatives and activities.

Design, methodology, and approach- Using a bibliometric examination of more than 700 publications published between 2000 and 2024, this study investigates the development of green finance. Several important issues are highlighted in the report, including "Green financing," "Green bonds," "fintech," and " green innovation," all of which are crucial for advancing sustainable development and reducing climate change.

Findings- Most relevant articles appear in journals devoted to environmental and sustainability concerns, suggesting that green    financing is    an    integrative    discipline    that    bridges    environmental    sciences    and     finance. Practical Implications- However, the study recognizes certain limitations, including the potential exclusion of important studies and the reliance on authors' keywords, which may impact the precision of theme identification and clustering.

Originality- A key contribution of this research is the identification and emphasis on crucial sources, prominent authors, and key documents in preparation for the bibliometric paper.
