A bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of Financial, Economic and Technological Factors Affecting the Environmental Sustainability

Purpose: Financial, Economic and Technological Factors play key role in Environmental Sustainability. This paper aims to analyze the existing research on factors affecting the Environmental Sustainability through a bibliometric approach. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data was collected from the Scopus database using secondary sources of 191 researches field published from 2002 to 2022 and VOSviewer software was employed to analyze the data. Findings: The findings reveal a remarkable surge in the volume of scholarly publications within this domain since 2018. The country results show that China emerging as the predominant contributor to the publication output, and UK ranks second in terms of publication volume. Prominent journals serving as the primary platforms for disseminating literature in this area include Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Energy Policy, Journal of Cleaner Production, and Energy Economics. Dominant keywords, such as "green finance," "CO2 emissions," "ecological footprint," "digital finance," "green investment," and constitute the quintessential lexicon of this scholarly terrain and represent its core thematic pillars. The exploration of interrelationships between green finance and carbon dioxide emission intensity, alongside the nexus of climate finance and renewable energy, represents the principal investigative thrust within this field. Presently, there exists a discernible dearth of literature systematically delving into the intrinsic connections between green finance and the energy sector, thereby positioning our research as a partial contribution to addressing this gap. Implications/Originality/Value: following policy recommendations are posited: (1) Strategic integration, multilateral cooperation, and the facilitation of a global paradigm shift towards green finance; (2) Enhanced research initiatives, diversification of financial instruments, and bolstered support mechanisms for the advancement of green energy technologies; (3) Promoting collaborative efforts towards sustainable development and fostering environmental stewardship on a global scale.
