Abstract

Climate change has emerged as a systemic financial risk, generating trillions of dollars in economic losses and exposing persistent protection and adaptation gaps. This study provides the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of financial resilience in the context of climate change, mapping how scholarship has evolved across the thematic, intellectual, and geographical dimensions. Using 194 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus (2011–2025), the analysis integrates the PRISMA protocol with bibliometric tools (Bibliometrix R-package and VOSviewer) to examine performance metrics, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, conceptual structures, and thematic evolution. The findings reveal a rapidly expanding field with an annual growth rate exceeding 35%, dominated by contributions from China, the United States, and Europe, yet with limited representation from climate-vulnerable regions in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Conceptually, the literature clusters around climate change, economic resilience, and sustainable development, while applied areas such as innovative financial instruments, adaptation finance, and policy mechanisms remain underexplored. Network analyses highlight fragmented co-authorship structures and concentrated knowledge production, while the three-field plot connects seminal works, active authors, and dominant keywords, exposing gaps in integrating traditional resilience frameworks with contemporary approaches like green finance, climate risk modeling, and resilience-linked insurance. This study contributes by consolidating fragmented knowledge, identifying collaboration and thematic patterns, and outlining future research priorities. To strengthen the field, future research should expand inclusivity across regions, deepen interdisciplinary integration, and advance applied research on financial mechanisms that enhance adaptive capacity. These insights provide an evidence base for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to design resilient financial systems in the face of escalating climate risks.
