What do we know about climate strategies for urban communities? A systematic review using bibliometric analysis

This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis (BA) of climate change articles retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. It identified high-impact publications, examined prevalent themes, and presented a qualitative summary. It emphasizes the significant role of Urban Climate Strategy (UCS) research in supporting policymakers and practitioners, particularly in the development of international protocols and frameworks. UCS research identified critical factors influencing climate risks, vulnerabilities, and urbanization, and integrated them into models to evaluate their relationships. This study recognized the innovative potential of emerging research trends in advancing process-response prediction models. Given the pressing need to address climate risks in urban communities, future research must navigate the complex dynamics of governance with careful consideration.
