Abstract

As the global community faces intensifying climate, resource, and equity challenges, the green economy has emerged as a guiding paradigm for aligning economic prosperity with ecological sustainability. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis mapping the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and future directions of global green economy research from 2015 to 2024. Using co-citation and co-occurrence analyses on peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed articles, this paper identifies foundational theories, dominant research clusters, and emergent trends shaping the field. The results reveal an increasingly interdisciplinary domain anchored in corporate finance, strategic management, institutional economics, and behavioral psychology. Key themes include green innovation, macroeconomic policy frameworks, climate and energy transitions, and circular production systems. The study highlights the evolution of the field from fragmented research toward an integrated, systemic understanding of sustainable economic transformation. Recommendations for future research emphasize social inclusion, cross-regional perspectives, and the practical policy implications of the green transition.
