The rise of global CO2 discharge and the recurrence of natural disasters and climate risks is prompting the central banks to take a more active role in environmental issues. Agreed in December 2015 at COP21, the Paris Agreement, asks a range of economic stakeholders and governments to accelerate the climate change mitigation by reducing their GHG emissions. Indeed, climate change effects on agriculture, food prices, financial assets and insurance, and economic growth has multiple consequences on the monetary policy objectives and transmission channels. In this context, the central banks integrated the environmental sustainability as a new agenda, by the adoption of green monetary policies. An interesting debate has been sparked by this concept of “greening” in recent years, particularly in developed countries, although it remains relatively unexplored in the existing literature. To enhance our understanding of the progress made in green monetary policy, this study employs bibliometric analysis covering the literature from 2000 to 2024. The data base for this analysis is derived form SCOPUS by the Bibliomtrix R tool and “VOSviewer”.
