Evaluating climate risk in banking: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

This review presents and explores the research priorities and evolutionary trends in bankingrelated climate risk research. It identifies four key areas of study illustrating the different perspectives comprising the banking-related climate risk research landscape, including: (i) ESG, green financing and climate risks, (ii) financial intermediation and risk management, (iii) sustainable development and economic transformation and (iv) monetary policy and financial stability. The empirical evidence indicates a rising and relatively recent scholarly engagement with climate-related risks and their consequences for the banking industry, although the literature is still in its formative stage. Overall, the analysis offers a broad overview of the academic terrain, emphasizing both consolidated insights and persisting gaps in knowledge concerning the ways in which climate risks are reshaping banking practices and financial stability.
