Bibliometrics and Content Analysis Dataset on Global Climate Action

This dataset comprises bibliometric and content analysis results from 4,901 scholarly sources published between 2023 and 2024 that investigate global action on climate change. Global actions are the policies, strategies, and scientific solutions used by governments and organizations to mitigate carbon emissions as well as adapt to climate change. The bibliometric analysis focuses on the quantitative aspects of the sources, such as publication trends, citation patterns, author affiliations, institutional contributions, geographic distributions, and journal impact. It provides insights into the academic network surrounding the topic, identifying key authors, institutions, and countries that are influential in research on the Global North-South Divide. Additionally, a content analysis was conducted, which systematically examines the research themes of the scholarly works. Prevalent research themes, including equity in climate policy, historical responsibility for emissions, international climate negotiations, and the role of developing countries in global climate governance show up in the analysis outputs. This analysis also highlights how climate action is framed in both the Global North and South, revealing differences in perspectives on climate justice, adaptation, mitigation, and financial assistance, and even the continued relevance of these terms. The dataset facilitates a nuanced understanding of the dynamics of climate action from an academic perspective, emphasizing geographic disparities in both research output and policy discourse. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists who are interested in addressing the challenges posed by global inequalities in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.本数据集包含2023至2024年间发表的4901篇学术文献的文献计量分析（bibliometric analysis）与内容分析成果，这些文献聚焦全球气候变化应对行动。本数据集所涉全球行动，指各国政府与组织机构为减缓碳排放、适应气候变化所采用的政策、战略与科学解决方案。文献计量分析聚焦文献的量化特征维度，涵盖发表趋势、引用模式、作者所属机构、机构贡献、地域分布以及期刊影响力等方面，可揭示该主题周边的学术网络格局，识别出在全球南北分歧（Global North-South Divide）相关研究中具有影响力的核心作者、机构与国家。此外，本数据集还包含内容分析环节，该环节系统性梳理了各学术文献的研究主题。分析结果中呈现出多项主流研究主题，包括气候政策公平性、碳排放历史责任、国际气候谈判以及发展中国家在全球气候治理中的角色等。该内容分析还重点剖析了全球南北两方对气候行动的叙事框架，揭示了双方在气候正义、适应、减缓以及资金援助等议题上的观点差异，甚至包括这些术语的持续适用性分歧。本数据集有助于从学术视角深入理解气候行动的动态演变，并凸显了研究产出与政策话语层面的地域差距。对于关注气候变化减缓与适应行动中全球不平等问题及其应对挑战的学者、政策制定者与行动主义者而言，本数据集是一份极具价值的参考资源。
