BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLIMATE FINANCE: FUTURE RESEARCH TRENDS AND STRATEGIC ROADMAP

Renewable energy and climate finance are among the areas increasingly discussed and researched in the context of sustainable development, energy transition, and climate change mitigation. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis covering 100 scientific articles in English indexed in SCI, SCI-Expanded, and ESCI and scanned in the Web of Science database between 2010 and 2024. According to the analysis, the journal "Energy Policy" has the most publications in its field and has created a central platform for scientific discussions on sustainable energy policy and financing. This underlines the journal's reach and effectiveness. The intensive contributions of Swiss researchers on these topics reflect the country's international activity and academic interest in renewable energy and climate finance. In addition, the most frequently occurring keywords in the analysis are "renewable energy," "policy," and "finance," indicating that the studies focus on these topics. These terms show that most research focuses on developing renewable energy sources, integrating these processes with policy, and improving financial mechanisms. These analyses have identified potential gaps shaping the future research agenda and highlighted new research opportunities.
