Climate finance: What we know and what we should know?

This study summarizes the literature in the area of climate finance. For this review we employ bibliometric analysis. The analysis of the corpus reveals that the major contributions in the area have come much recently with Paris climate agreement being major motivator for research. China, UK, and US emerge as the major contributors to the existing research output. Further the bibliographic coupling analysis of the corpus reveals the existence of six major themes which include climate change, green financing, public policy, valuation of green bonds, green financing and banking, and green bonds and financial markets. We provide a summary of the development of these themes as well as the future direction to be explored.
