Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze academic publications indexed in the Scopus database between 2015 and 2025 that include the term "climate change" in their titles, abstracts, or keywords. The research examines publication trends over the years, document types, subject areas, countries of origin, and sources of publication through a multidimensional approach. The findings indicate a steady increase in climate change-related publications throughout the examined period, with a marked acceleration after 2020. The majority of these works are research articles, predominantly situated within environmental sciences, agriculture, biology, and social sciences, reflecting an interdisciplinary dissemination of knowledge. The United States, China, and the United Kingdom emerge as the leading contributors in terms of publication volume, while journals such as Sustainability and Science of the Total Environment are among the most frequently used publication outlets. The results highlight the growing significance of climate change within the scientific community, the diversity of knowledge production, and regional disparities in research output. Accordingly, the study recommends strengthening interdisciplinary collaborations, encouraging greater academic participation from developing countries, and integrating scientific findings into environmental policymaking.
