Since the advent of the industrialization era, there has been a substantial surge in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities (Y. Wang et al., 2022). This phenomenon stands as a significant determinant of global climate change. To combat climate change, nations worldwide have implemented corresponding measures to redirect their existing economic development models towards a low-carbon trajectory, all of which are guided by the aims of carbon reduction and the establishment of a low-carbon economy. Among the effective strategies to attain these objectives, carbon taxation and carbon trading hold prominence, with the latter being internationally acknowledged as the preferred choice (Brohe and Arnaud, 2009).

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992 and the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 have had profound implications for the emergence of carbon finance and carbon markets (Zhou and Li, 2019). Carbon finance represents a market-based solution designed to mitigate the adverse consequences of climate change through the implementation of carbon emission trading mechanisms. Additionally, it encompasses financial activities that facilitate carbon emission reduction (CER), such as investment and financing for CER (IFCER) and carbon emission trading (CET) (Borghesi et al., 2015). Carbon markets serve as the platform for conducting carbon finance transactions, encompassing the design of operational mechanisms and the establishment of policy systems (Lu, 2016). In this context, carbon finance has become a critical catalyst for the advancement of the green economy, providing indispensable funding for renewable energy and green energy projects.

While some studies have explored similar concepts, the literature lacks individual research articles specifically focusing on carbon finance and carbon markets. Furthermore, most of the existing studies rely on a single database, leading to a relatively limited scope of topics and temporal coverage. Thus, the present study employs a bibliometric analysis of articles published over the past three decades (1992-2022) utilizing the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The primary objectives of this research are to identify influential countries, institutions, and scholars in the field, ascertain the leading journals for publishing research on carbon finance and carbon markets, and uncover the current research frontiers and topics within the domain of carbon finance and carbon markets
