TENDÊNCIAS DA PESQUISA SOBRE CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO E MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS
Resumo
O conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável surgiu nos anos 1970 como alternativa ao crescimento económico desenvolvido e ganhou relevância com o relatório do Clube de Roma em 1972, destacando a necessidade de equilibrar o crescimento económico, a protecção ambiental e a justiça social. Nesse contexto, esse estudo visa mapear a evolução da literatura sobre a interseção entre Crescimento Econômico e Mudanças Climáticas, usando análise bibliométrica de 5.919 documentos na base Scopus e Web of Science (1978-2024) com uso do software R. Os resultados mostram um crescimento anual de 13,77% na produção científica, com a China liderando em publicações, seguida por Estados Unidos e Reino Unido. As áreas principais de investigação/produção são Ciência Ambiental, Ciências Sociais, Economia, Energia e Medicina. Instituições como Universidade Tsinghua e Academia Chinesa de Ciências, e autores como Wang S., Bekun F. e Adebayo T., são destaques. A Análise revela uma expansão rápida da produção científica, colaboração internacional significativa e identifica lacunas relevantes de investigação, sublinhando a importância da colaboração global para soluções sustentáveis.
