Abstract: Over the past 10 years, the term ‘Climate Finance' has evolved and is now a popular topic in the climate policy community. To reduce the consequences of climate vulnerabilities and prepare for the negative effects of climate change, climate finance seeks various funding sources for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The primary goal of this study is to perform a comprehensive and updated bibliometric analysis to understand the evolution and current state of climate finance research and identify potential future research directions. The main findings indicate (1) climate finance research started in 2010, (2) most of the published literature, authors, and institutions in climate finance research are from China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and (3) a large portion of scholarly literature in climate finance focuses on finance for low-carbon transition, renewable energy, and the challenges of climate funding.
