Abstract

Introduction: Bibliometric analysis is a tool that allows evaluating scientific production in specific areas and understanding trends and approaches within a field of study. In the context of the right to climate and corporate sustainability, this technique allows us to explore how these topics have been addressed in the literature over the years. Methodology: The search for relevant scientific articles is carried out in Scopus, using bibliometric methods based on specific keywords related to the right to climate and corporate sustainability. Results: For each of the five keywords, 4 graphs and a table were obtained, which has allowed a quantitative analysis to be carried out, which involves counting the total number of publications per year, distributing the publications by type of document, identifying the most productive authors, determine the journals with the greatest number of publications on the topic, analyze the leading countries and institutions in research. Conclusions: The graphs and tables presented for each of the keywords reflect a growing global attention and effort to address climate change through legal frameworks and effective policies. The proliferation of publications indicates a global recognition of the urgency of protecting the climate.
