Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of green finance research from 2000 to 2025 using Scopus data and VOSviewer (version 1.6.21) and Bibliometrix ® (version 5.4.1). It analyzes publication trends, geographic distribution, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution. A clear inflection appears around 2015, aligned with the Paris Agreement, followed by rapid growth in output. Keyword mapping identifies core themes, including green finance, sustainable finance, green bonds, climate finance, and climate change. Citation and co-citation networks reveal an increasingly coherent knowledge structure, signaling rising intellectual maturity. The findings inform future research agendas and support evidence-based policy design for green finance development across markets and institutions globally.
