This study identifies and analyses the research hotspots and evolutionary trends in banking-related climate risks research. It identifies four key areas of study illustrating the different perspectives comprising the banking-related climate risk research landscape, including: monetary policy, banking governance sustainability, green financing, and climate risk assessment and management. The empirical findings demonstrate the recent and growing interest in research related to climate risk and its implications for the financial field, although the literature is still in its formative stage. It is important to identify and discuss the influential and trending articles and topics that will provide guidance to potential researchers and set future trends in the literature.
