Bibliometric analysis and visualization of green, sustainable, and environmental insurance research

Emerging environmental sustainability issues require governments to develop effective policies to respond to them appropriately. The insurance industry can contribute to the risk management of climate change and environmental issues by offering green insurance products. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to research the articles investigating the policy implications of different types of green, environmental, and sustainability insurance as risk management, risk mitigation, and damage or impact assessment techniques applied in diverse practices. Bibliometric analysis approaches, such as bibliographic coupling and co-occurrence analyses, were utilized. The analysis revealed seven key research themes. Recommendations for future research include investigating the impacts and development of assessment instruments of environmental, sustainable, and green insurance and their various products.
