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.

YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ VE İKLİM FİNANSMANI ALANINDAKİ LİTERATÜRÜN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZİ: GELECEĞE YÖNELİK ARAŞTIRMA EĞİLİMLERİ VE STRATEJİK YOL HARİTASI

Öz

Yenilenebilir enerji ve iklim finansmanı konusu son dönemlerde literatürde sıklıkla tartışılan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, yenilenebilir enerji ve iklim finansmanı konusunu ele alan yapılan çalışmaların incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak 2010-2024 yılları arasında Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan, İngilizce yazılmış, SCI, SCI-Expand ve ESCI dizinlerinde taranan 100 farklı makale türünde çalışmanın bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, yenilenebilir enerji ve iklim finansına ilişkin “Energy Policy” dergisinin en fazla yayın sayısına sahip olduğu ve konunun en fazla İsviçre’deki araştırmacılar tarafından araştırıldığı saptanmıştır. En çok tekrarlanan anahtar kelimeler sırasıyla “renewable energy”, “policy” ve “finance” kelimeleri olmuştur. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın neticesinde görsel haritalar ve tablolar elde edilmiş, yenilenebilir enerji ve iklim finansı ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların literatürde ki boşlukları tartışılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları ile bu alanda araştırma yapmayı düşünen araştırmacılara potansiyel bir yol haritası sunulması hedeflenmiştir.
