Abstract
The efects of climate change are a source of uncertainty for businesses worldwide.
Climate change has been causing signifcant and disruptive changes in the socio-
ecological systems in which organizations interact. This study aims to provide a
holistic assessment of the intersection of climate change and organizational litera-
ture since the end of the twentieth century. It seeks answers to the following ques-
tions: What is the evolution of this subject during 1999–2021? What are the leading
research organizations and main journals contributing to this subject? Who are the
main authors? What thematic clusters are found in the literature? Which theme has
not been sufciently researched and requires further attention? We analyzed 1476
publications obtained from the Web of Science database using two bibliometric
methods: co-citation and co-word network analysis. The analysis showed that the
University of Queensland, Australia, is the most productive research organization,
and Energy Policy is the most productive journal. Ans Kolk and Michael E. Porter
are the most cited authors in the literature. The cluster analysis identifed fve main
themes: corporate environmental strategies and policies, corporate environmental
outcomes and reporting, corporate environmental pressures, corporate governance
and environmental management, and environmental fnance.
