Abstract: The growing concern about the environment and the demand for the financing of green and sustainable projects have gained the interest of scholars, with hundreds of publications finding space in academic literature. We document a comprehensive outline of the intellectual landscape of green finance research using the Scopus database. We find China as the leading contributor to green finance research and science and environment journals in publishing green finance articles. We identify green financing, environmental protection, environmental regulation, development of green financing policy, green finance instruments, carbon credit, carbon pricing, and carbon emissions as emerging areas that need more attention. Our study is helpful for scholars, policymakers, and funding agencies to prioritize their research for achieving the status of a green economy.
