The growing awareness and significance of the "environment protection" concept- which imposes a responsibility on businesses, policymakers, governments, and regulatory agencies for tackling climate change and global warming-has created an urgent need for carefully examining current green and sustainable banking practices. This study aims to provide an overview of the present situation and future trends in green and sustainable banking through bibliometric research. For a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, the study includes 272 published research studies from the Scopus database for the period 1989 to 2023. Bibliometrics with MS-Excel, Biblioshiny R Studio, and VOSviewer were used to recognize and assess the trend of the related studies, research areas, authors, nations, institutions, and keywords. The research findings reveal the emerging trend and thematic evolution with regard to green and sustainable banking has increased recently. The findings will be helpful for academics and reviewers in selecting future green banking research topics and for decision makers in defining the standards for green banking research.
