İklim değişikliği, dünya genelinde çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal yapıları derinden etkileyen bir kriz haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda, sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı teşvik etmek ve çevresel etkileri en aza indirmek amacıyla yeşil finans giderek daha önemli bir araç olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yeşil finans üzerine yapılan çalışmaların nümerik ölçümlerini çıkarmak hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma, nicel veriler vasıtasıyla, iklim değişikliğiyle mücadeledeki dönüşümlerden birini temsil eden yeşil finans yazınının araştırmacıların dikkatine sunulması amacıyla sistemli bir özetinin çıkarılarak, konuyla ilgili çalışma eğilimlerinin tespit edilip, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalar için yol gösterici olması amacıyla bibliyometrik analiz olarak tasarlanmıştır. Analiz birimi olarak Web of Science veri tabanında taranan ve 1999-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanmış çalışmaların bibliyometrik verisi baz alınarak analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin bibliyometrik analizinde VOSviewer kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, yeşil finans ile ilgili çalışmaların yayın yıllarına göre son dönemlerde yoğunlaştığı, en çok atıf alan yazarlar arasında Kam C. Chan ve Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary'nin yer aldığı, yeşil finans, yeşil inovasyon, yeşil tahviller ve Çin gibi anahtar sözcüklerin sıkça kullanıldığı ve en fazla atıf alan ve yayın yapan ülkenin ise Çin olduğu bazı bulgular arasındadır. Bu bulgular, yeşil finans alanında Çin'in öncü bir rol oynadığını ve araştırma eğilimlerinin bu yönde şekillendiğini göstermektedir.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF STUDIES ON GREEN FINANCE

Öz

Climate change has become a crisis deeply affecting environmental, economic, and social structures worldwide. In this context, green finance is increasingly emerging as a crucial tool to promote sustainable development and minimize environmental impacts. This study aims to extract numerical metrics from studies on green finance. Through quantitative data, the study is designed as a bibliometric analysis to present a systematic summary of the green finance literature, which represents one of the transformations in the fight against climate change, to the attention of researchers, identify research trends related to the topic, and provide guidance for future studies. The analysis unit is based on bibliometric data of studies published between 1999 and 2024, scanned in the Web of Science database. VOSviewer was used in the bibliometric analysis of the data. The results of the study indicate that research on green finance has recently become concentrated in terms of publication years, with Kam C. Chan and Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary among the most cited authors. Frequently used keywords include green finance, green innovation, green bonds, and China. Additionally, the People's Republic of China was identified as the country with the highest number of citations and publications. These findings demonstrate that China plays a pioneering role in the field of green finance and that research trends are being shaped in this direction.
