Public administration with climate change impacts: Knowledge production and topical trends

Most countries and regions around the globe have introduced a range of public policies to address the growing challenge of climate change. Public administration provides the most direct technical and intellectual support to this end. Using a bibliometric methodology, this paper examines 1,511 articles on the topic of climate change in the field of public administration research over a 32-year period and sheds light on the dynamics associated with public policy formulation and management. The aim is to demonstrate management and policy priorities using the public sector as an entry point and to inform relevant multidisciplinary researchers and policymakers.
