<p>This research presents a comprehensive bibliometric and scientometric analysis of 1,122 carbon finance publications from the global Scopus database over 1992–2025. This research examines significant themes, research fields, published authors, prominent journals, and highly cited works. The methods of research included using content analysis with bibliometric results which demonstrated that scholarly interest in carbon finance has been on the rise, starting in earnest in around 2017 and since. The research indicates that there is considerable international collaboration on publications, in addition to Australia, Germany, and the USA, both on authorship levels and publications from China. The key publications tended to address carbon pricing mechanisms and low-carbon finance solutions. The project can provide key insights into the scholarly and conceptual practices of carbon finance for readers and presents a research agenda to address and support the literary gaps identified in the analysis of the project. Assisting to solidify a project research agenda provides future research direction and opening options for colleagues and researchers potentially in the areas of carbon pricing, sustainable finance, and climate finance projects related to economic transitioning, this study offers a practical contribution towards rebuilding the carbon finance discipline.</p>
