Intersecting Climate Change, Public Health, and Economic Resilience: A Multidimensional Bibliometric Exploration of the Global Evidence Base

Abstract

This study presents a multidimensional bibliometric analysis of 410 publications produced between 2008 and 2025, that examine the intersection of climate change, public health, and economic resilience. Drawing on Scopus-indexed literature and employing advanced analytical tools in R (Bibliometrix) and VOSviewer, the research maps the intellectual evolution of this rapidly expanding field. The findings show a sustained rise in scholarly output, particularly after 2019, driven by escalating climate-related health risks, socioeconomic instability, and the growing institutional demand for resilience-orientated policies. The impact of climate-induced diseases, socioeconomic vulnerability, adaptive methods, and health system multi-dimensionality are key contributors of focus authors, top-tier institutions, and main theme centers. The most recent body of work focuses on labor market impacts from extreme heat, climate-related health financing, digital adaptive technologies, and equitable-advantage governance. The gap in integrated assessments that combine climate shocks, health financing, social protection, and resilience in health poor countries are evident, in the single analytic framework that has come to characterize public health, the environment, economics, and disaster risk management. The study crystallizes these patterns and lays the groundwork for more intentional and focused work on public health preparedness, and sustainable economic resilience.
