This study aims to examine the research output on climate change, environmental risks and insurance from 1986 to 2020, thereby revealing the development of the literature through collaborative networks. The relationship between insurance, climate change and environmental threats has gained research attention. This study describes the interaction between insurance, climate change and environmental risk.

This study is a bibliometric analysis of the literature and assessed the current state of science. A total of 97 academic papers from top-level journals listed in the Scopus database are shortlisted.

The understanding of climate change, environmental risks and insurance is shaped and enhanced through the collaborative network maps of researchers. Their reach expands across different networks, core themes and streams, as these topics develop.

Data for this study were generated from English-written journal articles listed in the Scopus database only; subsequently, this study was representative of high-quality papers published in the areas of climate change, environmental risks and insurance.

The results of this study can be useful to academic researchers to aid their understanding of climate change, environmental risks and insurance research development, to identify the current context and to develop a future research agenda.

The findings of this study can improve the understanding of industry practitioners about climate change and global warming challenges, and how insurance can be used as a tool to address such challenges.

This study is a novel attempt. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to better understand climate change, environmental risks and insurance as a research topic by examining its evolution in an academic context through visualization, coupling and bibliometric analysis. This bibliometric study is unique in reviewing climate change literature and providing a future research agenda. Using bibliometric data, this study addressed the technical aspects and the value it adds to actual practice. Bibliometric indicators quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate emerging disciplinary progress in this topic.

This study aims to examine the research output on cyber insurance from 2002 to 2021 through an extensive bibliometric analysis. It examines the cyber insurance resources and how the process of cyber insurance works.

This paper uses Scopus and VOSviewer to analyze cyber insurance papers. Using 503 papers from Scopus, this paper enhances the understanding of cyber insurance through collaborative network maps of experts and researchers.

The study comprehensively evaluates the development of cyber research. The results show that the number of research articles on cyber insurance has significantly increased since 2009.

The study's results offer practical implications for researchers to gain knowledge on the latest trends and developments in the domain. In addition, the study highlights the significance of cyber insurance in mitigating financial risks linked to cyberattacks, potentially boosting the investment of more organizations in such policies. Furthermore, practitioners can enhance their understanding of the various types of cyber insurance policies and their coverage.

Our results are likely to encourage practitioners, computer scientists, auditors, accountants and lawyers to contribute further to corporate strategies, data analytics and business operations to mitigate cyber risk consequences. In addition, understanding regarding the cyber insurance concept formed between experts and researchers is limited. This paper fills this gap by evaluating and identifying the development of cyber insurance literature.
